Manuel Franco

A 49-year-old from Madrid, he was born almost in the kitchens of his parents’ old bar-restaurant. He later worked as a journalist for 20 years, travelling around the world. Five years ago, he changed his life and founded La casa de Manolo Franco, a restaurant that tells the story of cooking with emotion, the mountains of Madrid and has emotion as its goal.
