Here are eighteen restaurants across Spain that are hot and have food to back it up. Among the selections: the two newest Michelin three-stars (Quique Dacosta and Azurmendi), Albert and Ferran Adrià's "tapas" restaurant in Barcelona (Tickets), a well-reviewed Mexican restaurant in Madrid (Punto MX), accessible gastrobars (Lamoraga and Tondeluna), and several lesser-known restaurants worth the trip (Atrio in Caceres and Culler de Pau in O Grove). Many thanks to critic Maria Canabal for her intel and suggestions.
