Carlos and Alba de Pablo
The De Pablo culinary saga in Soria is defined by heritage and evolution, embodied by Carlos de Pablo and his daughter, Alba de Pablo Villares. Carlos de Pablo is the acknowledged patriarch who established the Casa Vallecas restaurant in Berlanga de Duero, a landmark in the province since 1953. A pioneer in the introduction of mycological cuisine, his career earned him the "La Seta de Oro" award. His daughter, Alba de Pablo, is the new generation honoring that legacy and evolving it at El Tilo de Vallecas restaurant in Soria . Alba combines family tradition and the use of local Soria produce with a background in haute cuisine, having studied at the prestigious Luis Irizar Cooking School and interned at world-renowned restaurants such as Aponiente and El Celler de Can Roca. The careers of both chefs are encapsulated in a family timeline that unites a passion for the Soria terroir with technical excellence.
