50 Experiences to Enjoy in Spain

ENJOY A PAELLA OVERLOOKING THE SEA IN THE REGION OF VALENCIA

Savour a plate of paella with some excel lent white wine as you're caressed by the breeze from the Mediterranean: that's the way to really experience Spain. In the area around the port and on the beach es of Las Arenas and La Malvarrosa in Valencia, the cradle of paella, you'll find fantastic venues overlooking the sea where you can enjoy Spain's most inter national dish.

Which one to order? The genuine Valencian paella is made with rice, rabbit, snails, chicken, a typical local bean and saffron, although variations are also per mitted, such as the seafood or mixed pa ella (with meat and shellfish), black paella and black rice… It's up to you. And just so you know what the locals are talking about, you should be aware that paella refers to the actual pan where the rice is prepared, and that socarrat is the Valencian name for the crispy rice that remains stuck to the bottom of the pan: many think this is the best part of all. Bon appétit!
