The team VORO

Cordoban by heart and birth, it was María’s grandmother Kika who aroused her passion for cooking. She carried out her studies between Cordoba and Málaga, and after conducting an internship in Choco (*), next to chef Kisko Garcia, she became part of his team. Her curiosity and desire to learn led her to travel to Brazil, where she worked for a year, learning the gastronomy of the country. In 2016, she became Álvaro´s right hand as a part of the Argos team, where they receive a Michelin star together, and María won the “Cocinera del año” best chef of the year award in 2018. The following year, she moved to Voro with Álvaro, where they continue their professional career. Maria brings elegance, delicacy and passion to Voro's team.

Rodolfo’s career started at a very young age, when he was working over the weekends and at the home next door restaurant, that once belonged to his family. At the age of 18 he left his small village leading to Rome where he started his medicine studies. It took a few years for him to realise that he was following the wrong path and after a sabbatical year, he started putting all his efforts on developing his skills in the hospitality industry. Studying wines at the AIS sommelier in Rome and joining the first course of Restaurant Management at the prestigious Gualtiero Marchesi Alma school (Italy), he ended up at the only restaurant in Italy run by Gordon Ramsay in Chianti Classico. From there his eager to learn different approaches to hospitality brought him to spend his last ten years between UK, Italy, and Balearic Islands, developing his people skills. If someone can convey the magic of customer service, that is Rodolfo.

Sela was raised between the flours in the family bakery. After studying Bakery and Confectionery, and following several years of her professional career, she arrived at the Celler de Can Roca (***) where she works as Head Pastry Chef. After this experience, she met Álvaro, with whom he initiated several gastronomic projects. It was in 2017 when Sela became part of the Argos Restaurant team, in order to take over the bakery and the sweet side in the restaurant. Along with the rest of the team, they started the Voro project, in which their work became even more prominent. In 2020, Sela received the award of the Best Pastry Chef in Mallorca by the Balearic Gastronomic Press. Her zest for life comes from the noble art of kneading and baking.

Born in Vilafranca de Bonany, Mallorca. At the age of 18 he travelled to Barcelona where he began his studies in Food Science and Technology. In 2015, he returned to Mallorca and continued his training in the Higher Degree in Kitchen Management. In 2017, he did an internship at the restaurant Argos (*), with Álvaro Salazar, with whom he discovered his passion for haute cuisine. At this point he joined the team and in 2019 they moved to Voro where they started their new project. Before the start of the 2020 season, his interest led him to the Hyatt Regency 5* GL in London, where he worked for two months as a chef de partie. At the end of this experience, he rejoined the team again until today. Joan brings commitment, discipline and coherence to Voro's kitchen.

Born in Capdepera, Mallorca. Where he grew up as a young man with a passion for technology, yet once he entered the world of gastronomy where he discovered what he was really passionate about and on his own specialising in different areas of the sector. In 2008 he began his career in the hospitality industry, but it was not until 2016 when he started to take part in more ambitious and high-calibre projects. His desire to learn and develop has led him to work on projects in cities such as Palma de Mallorca, Amsterdam and Madrid, the latter being the key city in which he would demonstrate his knowledge as a sommelier. He met Voro's team in 2019, however, their paths did not cross again until 2021. Since then, Carles has brought an energy, unpretentiousness and unity to the team and has been a fundamental part of the project.

Mallorcan by birth, he inherited his passion for cooking from his grandmother, where his curiosity for the smells, flavours, products and recipes of Mallorca prompted his desire to learn something new every day. In 2016 he finished his studies at the Escuela de Hostelería (Hospitality and Restaurant Management School) which led him to pursue an apprenticeship at the Restaurante Argos (*), where he met Álvaro Salazar who offered him a position in his culinary team. His hunger for further development led him to work in different kitchens, including the pastry kitchen of the Restaurante Zaranda (** two Michelin stars at the time), among others. In 2022 Miquel decided to return with Álvaro to join the VORO family, where he is in charge of the sweet side of the restaurant, together with the pastry chef, Sela Priego.
