The Dénia genius loves water, especially the water of the Mediterranean lapping around his restaurant. Quique Dacosta will be in San Sebastián, another water-and-sea location, the Cantabrian Sea in this case, to demonstrate what his mind has come up with this year, obviously with an intrinsic link to the sea.

Dacosta will also be at Gastronomika in relation to the guest country, because the chef runs Arros QD in London. The Extremadura-born and Valencia-adopted chef will be at Kursaal to compare realities, with the Mediterranean as a constant backdrop.
