Isaac Loya

Isaac Loya is the chef and driving force behind Real Balneario de Salinas in Salinas (Castrillón), Asturias, a restaurant described by regional tourism and press as the gastronomic restaurant of Miguel and Isaac Loya on the beach of Salinas. Contemporary coverage places him at the head of the kitchen and notes that the restaurant has held a Michelin star for two decades and two Soles Repsol, while maintaining a seafood-focused identity rooted in the Cantabrian coast. He is also presented as a third-generation figure in the family business, having moved from front-of-house work into the kitchen and eventually taking over the culinary direction and management.
