RESTAURANTE LASAI Michelin Plate While we were in Bilbao, we had lunch at Lasai. The entrance is in a basement down a side street, so it’s not easy to find. Once inside, there is a lovely, relaxed vibe and a good atmosphere. The team behind this concept is Bilbao native and chef David Garcia, who holds one Michelin star for Corral de la Morería and serves as the gastronomic director here. The head chef is Igor Méndez. Once settled in, we chose the Crystal tasting menu. To

ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide This review contains three different trips to Restaurante Es Boldado in Cala d’Hort. When driving from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn to Cala Truja before reaching Cala d’Hort. After about 3 kilometres, you will see the sign for Es Boldado on your left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres, and you will be rewarded with the best view of Ibiza. If you’re looking for a

NOU MANOLÍN Michelin Plate IIO This well-known spot in Alicante’s city centre has two distinct areas. Upstairs is a chic destination restaurant serving consistently excellent, creative seafood dishes. Downstairs, you will find a casual, come-as-you-are type of bar. We r ecommend sitting at the bustling bar counter on the first floor. (It is wise to turn up when they open the doors in the evening. We started with good ostras (oysters), then buñuelos de bacalao (deep-frie

Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital of the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. The Gothic-style Santa María Inmaculada Cathedral features a sculpted facade and towering columns in the medieval quarter. The 17th-century Plaza de la Virgen Blanca features a monument to the 1813 Battle of Vitoria. The Church of San Miguel has a sizeable baroque altarpiece and a statue of the White Virgin, the city's patron saint. Beethoven dedicated his Opus 91, often called the " Battle

CASA ELADIO Michelin Plate IIO Casa Eladio was founded in 1965 by Eladio Cabello Serrano. It was managed by José Eladio Cabello Santaella (the founder’s son) for 38 years during Marbella’s golden age. It has a contemporary, maritime-inspired décor that has been given a new lease of life, with José’s son, Carlos Cabello Jimenez (the family’s third-generation), now working in the kitchen. Carlos worked in Northern Spain and Málaga before returning to the family restau

SUCULENT Michelin Plate IIIO On our trip to Barcelona, we visited the restaurant Suculent. This is a great place with no pretensions in the somewhat dodgy area of Raval, and it lives up to its recent good reputation. It has a creative and relaxed interior with a good atmosphere, a little rough and ready rather than sophisticated, but the focus is on what comes on the plate. There are two tasting menus; we chose the classic, a seven-course menu plus two desserts. The Classic

TERRAZA CARMONA Michelin Plate IIO This grand restaurant is a family-run business and the oldest in Vera. Vera is the main town in this area, located approximately 10 km inland from the coast. I believe it was once home to the only cinema outside Almeria. If you come to the open market in Vera on a Saturday, you will find this oasis in the thick of it. You can stroll around the market from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm and then sneak in before the rush. On arrival, you will enter

ASADOR LA PÉRDIDA Michelin Plate IIO This incredible spot is just outside Sevilla, in a stunning old hacienda. The hacienda has been completely renovated with beautiful indoor spaces and outside terraces to enjoy this unique gastronomic experience and setting. It is a place for carnivores, and the fantastic meat comes from the livestock raised naturally and ecologically in the Riberas del Guadaíra, a unique and protected natural environment less than 20 km from Sevilla. T

RESTAURANTE GUEYU-MAR Michelin Plate IIO The coastline around Ribadesella features extensive sandy beaches and small coves. Playa de Vega is a remarkably unspoiled spot outside this sidra-obsessed, picturesque town. A café bar and snack kiosk provide drinks and ice cream. For a special lunch there, try this superb fish restaurant. All the staples are there, Almejas (clams) Gambas (prawns) Sardinas (sardines) Cetollu (spider crab) Pulpo a feria (octopus in the style of th
