Skina.

Tucked away on a narrow street in Marbella’s Old Town, Skina is a masterclass in culinary intimacy. Founded by sommelier Marcos Granda, the restaurant is famously compact, hosting only a handful of tables within a 19th-century building. This small footprint allows for a high level of precision from chef Mario Cachinero, whose menus serve as a modern dialogue with Andalusian tradition. Expect creative reinterpretations of regional recipes that prioritize seasonal products, from wild Galician fish to premium olive oils from Jaén. The minimalist decor keeps the focus squarely on the plate and the formidable wine cellar, which boasts nearly 1,000 references from artisanal growers. It is a refined, quiet space where the scale of the room belies the ambition of the kitchen.
