GASTRONOMY
The Mediterranean diet was recently recognised as being part of UNESCO's world cultural heritage. Spanish cooking is particularly healthy thanks to its use of fresh ingredients. It produces excellent fruit and vegetables such bananas, citrus fruits, strawberries, grapes, apples, pears, tomatoes, onions, garlic,... Seafood and especially shellfish, meat, a wide range of cheeses, full-flavoured seasonings like paprika and saffron, and carefully selected wines round out the list of ingredients that are the essence of Spain’s cuisine.
Here under you will find a list of restaurants that are highly recommended by Corasol's owner, ranging from the traditional tapas to the more exquisite fine dining experience.

1. Paellas y Mas Marbella (47,1 km)
Being one of the most known Spanish dishes (although originally from the area of Valencia), chef Javier Ponte and his team serve the most amazing paellas at Paella's y Mas, a modern yet classy and relaxed restaurant close to the old town of Marbella.
Although not very close to Corasol, the food, the atmosphere and incredible service make it's definitely worth a visit!

1. Paellas y Mas Marbella (47,1 km)
Chef Christophe Muller (recoginzed as Chef MOF - Meilleur Ouvrier de France) was Paul Bocuse's great collaborator and his replacement as head of Maison Bocuse after his death.

3. La Bulla Gastrobar Estepona (21,4 km)
1. Paellas y Mas Marbella (47,1 km)
4. El Lago Marbella (59,3 km)
This is not your regular tapas bar, but consider it a "Tapas 2.0" experience. A mixture of art and taste. A liquid tortilla in a glass jar? A revisited Pulpo a la Gallega, or one of their trademark dishes with red tuna? You'll find it all at La Bulla!
Although the menu might look similar to other traditional tapas bars, you will be blown away by how elaborated the dishes are whilst they taste phenomenally.

Higher price range but absolutely worth the experience.
