Portugal and Spain 2021 Michelin Star Restaurants Awards

On 14th December 2020, Michelin, the most prestigious restaurants’ guide on the planet, celebrated, with an audience almost entirely online, the annual Gala to announce the 2021 Michelin stars in Spain and Portugal. 

While the event was less glamorous than in regular times,  this great festival of Gastronomy of Spain & Portugal was shared with the whole world!

At the Gala, there was a big novelty, the new Michelin Green stars. This new recognition seeks to reward the efforts of the establishments with the best gastronomic practices in terms of sustainability. And today within Spain & Portugal there are 21 restaurants distinguished with this new Michelin green star. Congratulations to them all!!
