MARCOS GRANDA
FIVE MICHELIN STARS AND COUNTING We first featured Marcos Granda in magazine in 2004. Skina, the restaurant that earned him his first Michelin star, had just opened its doors in Marbella’s Old Town. The venue offered something unique: fine dining served in a small cornerside venue that soon came to be the talk of the town. Marcos, a sommelier by trade, launched this project alongside his wife, María Isabel Salamanca. At the time, he said, “Nobody trusted my ideas. No-one would have bet on my vision. But in my mind, the secret was clear… however, I wanted to put it to the test first.” WORDS MARISA CUTILLAS PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF GRUPO MARCOS GRANDA
