The award-winning SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort in Sotogrande, Spain, is kicking off the summer season with an exciting calendar of events, experiences and activities, including world-class gastronomy, art, leisure, and wellness.
Flavours of Andalusia
This summer, SO/ Sotogrande offers lovers of Andalusian gastronomy a unique culinary experience inspired by bluefin tuna. From June to September, guests can savour three exclusive menus at Cortijo Santa María 1962 restaurant. The Bistronomy experience begins with the ‘Tuna in Andalusia’ menu, followed by the ‘Classic Tuna’ menu available in July and August. Michelin Chef Nicolas Isnard will also create a dedicated avant-garde Tapas menu where bluefin tuna will take the centre.
Chef Leandro Caballero will conduct a master class, instructing participants on the secrets to creating the most sophisticated and flavourful bluefin tuna dishes.
Guests can indulge in diverse dining at four unique restaurants, including the fine dining Cortijio Santa Maria 1962 and the outdoor poolside MARXA Chiringuito, the beach grill adjacent to the hotel’s infinity pool, which will maintain its commitment to offering a fresh, local gastronomic menu inspired by Mediterranean cuisine.
