There are no new three star restaurants in Spain this year
Spanish gastronomy has come out badly in the new 2008 edition of the Michelin Guide with not a single new restaurant gaining three stars.

Ten establishments with two stars already had them, although there is one new two star restaurant – Abac in Barcelona.
There were fifteen new one star eateries, and ten have lost their single star.

It comes as a disappointment for Spanish cuisine where three new three star restaurants had been forecast this year.

The six three star restaurants, three Basque and three Catalan are Juan Mari Arzak (restaurante 'Arzak', San Sebastián); Santi Santamaría ('Can Fabes', Sant Celoni, Barcelona); Ferran Adrià ('El Bulli', Roses, Girona); Martín Berasategui ('Martín Berasategui', Lasarte, Guipúzcoa); Carme Ruscalleda ('Sant Pau', Sant Pol de Mar, Barcelona) and Pedro Subijana ('Akelarre', San Sebastián)

The two star restaurants are 'Tristán', in Portals Nous (Baleares); 'Atrio', in Cáceres; 'El Poblet', in Dènia; 'Mugaritz', in Rentería; 'El Celler de Can Roca', in Girona; 'La Broche' and 'Santceloni', in Madrid; 'Zuberoa', in Oiartzun, and 'La Alquería de Hacienda Benazuza', in Sanlúcar la Mayor (Sevilla), as well as the new 'Abac'.

And the new single star restaurants are 'Comerç 24' and 'Lluçanés', in Barcelona; 'Yayo Daporta', in Cambados (Pontevedra); 'Kokotxa' and 'Kursaal', in San Sebastián; 'Arrop', in Gandía; 'Massana', in Girona; 'Azurmendi', in Larrabetzu (Vizcaya); 'El Club Allard', in Madrid; 'Calima', in Marbella; 'Els Casals', in Sagás (Barcelona); 'Retiro da Costiña', in Santa Comba (La Coruña); 'Villena', in Segovia; 'El Molino de Urdaitz', in Urdaitz (Navarra), and 'Ramiro's', in Valladolid.

Finally the following lost their single star, 'La Posada de la Casa del Abad', in Ampudia; 'Aldebarán', in Badajoz; 'Koldo Royo', in Mallorca; 'Jean Luc Figueras', in Barcelona; 'Gallery Paladares', in Gijón; 'Carballeira', in Lleida; 'Casa d'a Troya', in Madrid; 'Mesana', in Marbella, 'Chez Víctor', in Salamanca, and 'Lluçanès', in Prats de Lluçanès.
