The activity and impact of the Spanish X-ray astronomical community has kept growing in the last decades. Following the successful Spanish X-ray Astronomy 2013 (Barcelona) and 2015 (Santander), we plan a new meeting in this series. This time, the meeting will be aimed at showcasing the Spanish activity and future in Athena, the upcoming ESA X-ray mission. World experts involved on the design and developments of the Athena observatory and its main scientific instruments will contribute to this meeting to spread among the Spanish astronomers the scientific objectives, technological challenges, and capabilities of this extraordinary project:<\/p>\n
