The organisers of the Guía Michelin have announced the host, red-carpet presenter and kitchen team for the national gala in Huesca. The ceremony presenting the Spain 2027 edition will take place on 1 December 2026 in the Palacio de Congresos de Huesca . Television presenter Anne Igartiburu will host the evening, while food communicator Daniel del Toro will cover the red carpet. The menu is being designed by Huesca-born chef Carmelo Bosque; eight chefs from the province are working on his team.
The details were presented on 20 October in Canfranc at the Royal Hideaway Hotel of the Estación Internacional de Canfranc. Huesca was named as the host city in May; the date, initially scheduled for 24 November, was moved to 1 December because of the forthcoming Spanish parliamentary elections. Michelin and several media outlets confirmed the new schedule and the appointments.
Isaac Claver, president of the Diputación Provincial de Huesca, described the gala as “a source of pride for Huesca and an extraordinary opportunity to showcase our province”. This is a political assessment. What is established is the gala’s status as a major industry event, at which Michelin announces the new stars, Bib Gourmand recommendations and special awards for the Spain edition, and presents the next edition of the Guía Michelin Spain.
For the province and city of Huesca, hosting the event means extensive media exposure and additional demand for the hospitality sector. The format brings together industry professionals, national press and a prestigious banquet, for which the organisers say products from Aragón are to be used. The producers and wines to be selected had not been specified at the presentation.
The change of date entails organisational adjustments, for example to logistics, security and accommodation capacity. Initially, there was no indication of invited guests cancelling or of programme changes beyond the announcements mentioned. Michelin announced accompanying activities in the weeks before the event; details are to be released gradually.
The choice of Huesca follows the recent practice of holding the gala in different locations across Spain in rotation. According to the organisers, the event is intended to involve local food and hospitality networks while retaining its national scope. Whether, and to what extent, it has lasting effects on the region can only be assessed after the event.
