Villagonzalo Pedernales, Spain
Abadesa
On the southern edge of Burgos, Abadesa sits inside a roadside hotel that punches well above its motorway-adjacent location. The grill here is the serious business: chef Guillermo Martínez de Marigorta was named Spain's Best Grill Master in 2024, and a floor-to-ceiling ageing chamber stocked with premium beef and ox makes the sourcing argument before a plate arrives. Two dining formats — set menu and live à la carte grill — serve different itineraries without compromise.
