Juan Quintanilla
Juan, Sollun’s Chef-Owner, was born in Higueruela, a small town in Castilla-La Mancha, in the province of Albacete. Following his passion for gastronomy, he began his cooking studies at Hotel Miramar School in Marbella, later traveling to London to expand his knowledge.
After a long career as Head Chef for years for several Michelin-starred restaurants, he decided to open his own restaurant in 2006. This is how Sollun came into existence in Nerja, a coastal town in the province of Malaga. The name of Sollun came from the combination of the name of his daughters Sol and Luna.
