i. Biography
Juanjo Solano’s cooking at La Zambra Resort is built on Andalusia, but it does not stay there. Since 2025, he has been shaping the kitchen as Executive Chef with a hand that keeps regional cues intact while shifting them into a cleaner, more contemporary register. The work reads as controlled and alert: familiar flavors, adjusted with enough restraint to change the frame without losing the source.
Coming Up
Juanjo Solano is Executive Chef of La Zambra Resort, a role he has held since 2025. In a resort kitchen, that means keeping the line tight: menus need polish, pacing matters, and the food has to land with clarity. Solano handles Andalusian flavors without dressing them up unnecessarily, using a subtle twist to keep dishes legible while giving regular forms a different angle.
Where They Are Now
At La Zambra Resort in Mijas, the kitchen now runs through Solano’s idea of Andalusian cooking with a twist. The setting asks for food that can carry volume without losing detail, and his approach answers with balance rather than excess. The result is a style that keeps locality in view, avoids rigidity, and leaves the final impression current rather than fixed.
