CASA MARCAL Three Michelin Stars (New 2025) The drive to the restaurant, situated in the heart of the mountains, is via a narrow road through the beautiful Asturian countryside, and the views are amazing. Beware of the narrow winding roads where you must be careful of grazing cows and sheep. The restaurant's modest façade contrasts with its elegant stone interior, which features exposed wooden beams and a few contemporary decorative details. There is an attractive bar are

AZURMENDI Three Michelin Stars Chef Eneko Atxa Azurmendi was the youngest Spanish chef to obtain 3 Michelin stars in 2012.

APONIENTE Three Michelin Stars A return visit to the Angel León restaurant (famous for its cuisine of the sea and only from the sea). After moving from its old location in the Centre of El Puerto de Santa Maria, the new, far more glamorous restaurant is just outside town, in what was once an old flour mill, initially built in 1815. A small river/stream flows under the current building, and the energy it generated for the mill was used to grind the wheat into flour. Situate

APONIENTE Two Michelin Stars   Chef de Mar Ángel León Gonzales now has his third Michelin star in his ultra-modern restaurant, which he has recently moved into.

LES PRÈS D'EUGÉNIE Three Michelin Stars On this occasion we took a trip over the Spanish border from San Sebastián (some 175 km) into France to the wonderful Les Prés d'Eugénie. Michel Guérard opened Les Prés d'Eugénie in the tiny commune of Eugénie-les-Bains in 1974, and the restaurant gained a third Michelin star in 1977, only three years later. He has retained 40 years of 3-star status and now has the longest such continuous run, since the recent death of Bocuse, who g
