Huelva-born chef Xanty Elías decided to close his restaurant Acánthum, in February 2021, and focus on his new gastronomic project called Finca Alfoliz in the Port of Huelva. The chef said ina statement '‘The reason for this difficult decision was not only the pandemic, but also the impossibility of renewing the lease on the premises'.

Finca Alfoliz is located in the village of Aljaraque, north east of Huelva city, and is a 10,000-square-metre venue surrounded by nature, featuring a restaurant focused on grilled food and sustainability. It is featured the Michelin Bib-Courmond guide.
