Those of you who have yet to dine at Santi might want to do so soon as the establishment is set to shut its doors on March 11.

The announcement of the restaurant's closure comes shortly after the first death anniversary of Michelin-starred Catalan chef Santi Santamaria who died suddenly on Feb 16 last year, which marked a huge loss for not only the Spanish dining scene, but globally as well.

We pay tribute to an international champion of Spanish cuisine in our interview with him, which we did just hours before his death.
