Paella - you need to be careful in Spain, because many places sell paella that is purchased frozen from a supplier, and simply reheated. But this place produced some pretty decent stuff. The chunks of chicken and pork were nicely seasoned and weren't too dry, and most importantly, the rice wasn't hard and gross like it can be. There have been times I've had paella in Spain where I've wondered if they had just spray painted uncooked grains so they would look like they had been cooked with saffron. It was actually nicely cooked, soft and moist, though a few grains were a tad undercooked inside. It was almost Asian-quality rice, which is a huge compliment, because if there is anything Asians know how to do, it is make damn good rice! Overall it was a good paella, despite being a tad salty and having a distinct lack of veggies, with the exception of a tiny shard of bell pepper - but hey, it is Spain, after all!
