The Michelin Guide Spain and Portugal 2020 has been published with the addition of a new three-star restaurant the Cenador de Amós by chef Jesús Sánchez, which is located in the Cantabrian town of Villaverde de Pontones.
The stars were announced at a gala, celebrating 110 years of the Michelin Guide Spain and Portugal, at the Lope de Vega Theatre in Seville, attended by the best Spanish and Portuguese chefs. The guide to Spain and Portugal now includes 11 three-starred, 36 two-starred and 194 one-starred restaurants.
Sánchez gained his third star for his ‘tireless search for emotion’, bringing his guests on a journey, serving them different courses in different areas of the palace-mansion which houses the restaurant, so they have a range of experiences interacting with food and environment.
Martín Berasategui won another two stars giving him a total of 12 across all his restaurants. In all 30 new stars were doled out.
Five restaurants received their second star, namely Noor, in Cordoba; Bardal, in Ronda; Skina, in Marbella; Angle, in Barcelona; and El Poblet, in Valencia. With another 19 restaurants receiving their first Michelin star, among them Magoga, in Cartagena; Tula, in Alicante; Es Tragón, in Ibiza; Deliranto, in Tarragona; Retama, in Ciudad Real; Dama Juana, in Jaén; and Voro, in Mallorca.
