Two months later Jacobo was aboard Jura II!
Running his own successful restaurant in La Coruna, where the standard of cuisine is extremely high, he developed a true passion for food preparation. He loves different cuisines from around the world and will delight you with his international cuisine, from Spanish Paella to Thailand Pad Thai.
