- El Disco de Rebelde Way (2006)
- Erreway presenta su caja recopilatoria (2007)
In 2005, Erreway haid the tour of Spain, but without Lopilato. She didn't have time, because of the contract for television series Casados con Hijos. So, Bordonaba had to sing Lopilato's parts in songs.

In December 2006, Erreway went on Spain tour, but without Luisana Lopilato. "Again, I had no time for tour, because of work. I said to our producer that I can go on the next tour, but he, probably, didn't say that to Camila, Benjamin and Felipe. So, people think that I left the band. But, now, I can say to you that I'm not going back to Erreway, but who knows what will be in the future", Lopilato said in the interview for BRAVO magazine in Summer 2007.
In September 2007, three members of Erreway - Rojas, Colombo and Bordonaba - planned another Spain tour, and there were dates planned. There were planned seven concerts, including cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, but Erreway cancelled this tour. "We have so much work to do. Cami and I are still working on Son de Fierro, and Benja is working on the movie, Kluge. We didn't have time for our new CD, and we want to release it before the tour", said Felipe.
Three members of the Erreway said that they're gonna make the new CD, because they love to come to Spain and sing some new stuffs. October 18 was named "International Day of Erreway". Because of their new CD, they canceled Spain tour, but they will do make it later, when new CD, called "Vuelvo", be released. There were rumors about arguing Colombo with Bordonaba and Rojas, but that was not true. Also, it was rumored that Erreway cancelled whole reunion thing, but Benjamin Rojas said: "No, we're still together! We didn't have much time for our new album, and we want a perfect album. You will be able to buy it in 2008, I promise!".
