Michelin-starred restaurants
To be awarded at least one Michelin star is a luxury within the gastronomic sector.
Michelin stars are awarded as a way of rating restaurants according to the quality, creativity and care they put into the dishes they serve.
Creativity, product selection, mastery of cooking, flavours, value for money and consistency are some of the criteria that are assessed before a restaurant is awarded a Michelin Star.
This distinction is an international award and many tourists make it one of their main reasons to travel.
Andalusia has 18 Michelin-starred restaurants, like Ángel León and his restaurant Aponiente, with the maximum category of 3 stars.
