CANFRANC STATION

The restaurant led by

Eduardo Salanova and Ana Acín

has just joined the list of the French guide. The first star comes just a few months after this 5-star Grand Luxury hotel from the Barceló group opened its doors in this spectacular railway complex in the Aragonese Pyrenees, which was inaugurated in 1928. The dining room,

Canfranc Express

, is located in an old carriage that It has been rehabilitated with 1920s aesthetics and offers an experience for

12 diners

per service. In the proposal, with strong roots in the land, the guinea fowl and beet and the ternasco trilogy stand out, a sequence of three passes in which the Pyrenean lamb is the protagonist. More info: www.barcelo.com

ALCUNEZA MILL

On the outskirts of Sigüenza is this charming 17-room hotel (reopens for the season on February 9) belonging to the international Relais & Châteaux association. At the front,

Blanca and Samuel

- the house cook - Moreno, a tandem that at the last Michelin gala added to its

red star from 2018,

the green one, which rewards commitment to the environment. This refuge has put this emptied area of ​​Spain on the map with a project that offers a gastronomic proposal in which the traditional recipe book of the region is updated. To do this, they count on and value a wide

network of local suppliers

, from butcher shops to distilleries. Special mention is made of the bread that Samuel himself makes and the breakfast they serve. Outstanding experience, where you always have to find space for the spa. More info: www.molinodealcuneza.com

three golf courses

with views of the Mediterranean, a spa that you won't want to leave and ten excellent restaurants, a stay in one of its 125 rooms and suites - it has 9 villas with a private pool - is a privilege. . Among the restaurants, there are essential visits, such as La Veranda, the flagship of the place with its famous red tuna tartar and its crepes

suzette

; the

99 Sushi Bar and Restaurant

, where haute Japanese cuisine shines; Or

là Beirut,

to soak up the flavors of Lebanon; and its space for those who want to take care of themselves

, Irene's Health Kitchen,

with a wide variety of salads, each more delicious. After eating, a walk through its impressive gardens doesn't hurt. More info: www.anantara.com

HOTEL PEPE VIEIRA

Sustainability is the roadmap of this project with views of the Rías Baixas that looks

integrated into the nature

that surrounds it. This chef, who has two Michelin stars and also the green award, offers in his restaurant

A Última Cociña do Mundo

a unique journey, where each dish tells a story supported by impeccable creativity. The colors that dress the dishes come from his garden, and in his

cellar,

a wide and most interesting offering to accompany the evening. The 14 warehouses that make up the hotel are truly incredible. More info: pepevieira.com
