Well, you've just described what we can best described as absolute paradise! Sounds incredible.

Despite having not catalan roots like the 'arròs a la cassola', the paella is a feast here, mostly among the families gather in Sunday. Cheers !

Thank you for the tips! I'm so excited to taste authentic paella!

The authentic paella is from Valencia. I was born in the city of Valencia and i know what im talking about. The paella in this video is made of seafood, and the authentic paella is made with chiken, rabbit, green beans, tomatoe and artichokes... and the best place to have a good paella is in Valencia of course. That paella in this video is quite good anyway like a variation of paella made with seafood.

Yes, you're completely right about paella's origin, and what it's made with. Absolutely delicious! We just wanted to show curious travelers in Barcelona that they can find great rice there, too! It's unfortunate how many tourist traps there are that serve microwaved "paella" all over Spain. Cheers, and thanks for watching!

¡Hola! My husband and I are visiting Madrid, Granada, Valencia & Barcelona (in that order) from October 23rd through November 6th, 2018. We’re looking forward to trying your recommendations. Hopefully there will be a Valencia video before we go. Is it typically a warmer or colder Fall that time of year? I’m trying to figure out if either short or long sleeve shirts are ok and either a heavy or light jacket? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Sorry my question isn’t food related. You guys have done such a great job on that subject. 😉 Thank you!

Hola Maria! Thanks for the kind words! Happy to help with this. You'll be looking at the warmest weather in Valencia, where highs can be in the mid-70s, and coolest in Madrid where highs are in the mid/low-60s. With that in mind, a mix of short and long sleeves will probably be a good bet, with some layers like cardigans and scarves that you can use in the morning and evening but ditch at midday. A light jacket should be fine! We have some blog posts on the topic, which I'll link to here! madridfoodtour.com/what-to-pack-for-madrid/ devourbarcelonafoodtours.com/what-to-pack-for-barcelona/ devourgranadafoodtours.com/what-to-pack-for-granada/

I’m researching my first trip to Barcelona and am enjoying your vlogs very much! Can you recommend somewhere that serves good paella for a solo traveler? I’d love to try this restaurant but could not eat that whole portion myself. Thanks!

Hi John, thanks for watching! We have a full blog post on where to eat paella in Barcelona (devourtours.com/blog/where-to-eat-paella-in-barcelona/), however it is true that many places require ordering a minimum of 2 (very hearty) servings. 🥘For the perfect quantity of incredible paella, consider joining our Tastes & Traditions of Barcelona Food Tour (devourtours.com/tours/barcelona-tastes-traditions-food-tour/). Guests try authentic paella at the last stop, a restaurant in the fishermen’s district that's been open since the 1950s.

Thanks for the lesson on paella. I'm on a tour of Spain now. Dinner in Barcelona included a black rice paella, apparently black due to squid ink (!!) being used in its preparation.

The video is great. But can you get also vegetarian paella?

I will be in Barcelona in a month (May 11 - 13th). I only speak English and am primarily a vegetarian who occasionally eats seafood and some dairy. Can you recommend places to eat and how to order tapas and food that contain no meat of any kind? Thank you.

The rice dishes at Can Solé range from 20€ to 40€ per person, and you'll find there's often a two-person minimum when out to eat paella. The range in prices depends on the ingredients you go for. James and Lauren are enjoying the 20€ per person "arroz a la paella con frutos del mar" whereas those on the higher end of the price range feature more expensive kinds of seafood, like lobster or special clams from a certain area.

Love it!!!

In Puerto Rico, we call the paella de la Valencia, which is paella with seafood. You see being an island there were no meats just seafood. It was the Spaniard who bought over the heavy meat but the Taino native Indians on the island only ate fruits and seafood. I think the reason for it is to distinguish from South American countries have it with meat and I believe in some parts in Spain that have it with meat as well,' is that correct?

Hi Walt! The traditional paella from Valencia (paella valenciana) features chicken, rabbit, snails, and beans but no fish or shellfish. But because each establishment has their own twist on paella, we recommend double-checking before ordering or sampling. In addition, make sure to avoid "paella mixta," which is a surf-and-turf type of dish. You can find out more in our blog post: devourtours.com/blog/best-places-for-paella-in-valencia/ Hope this helps!

Nothing is much catalan here, maybe except the "paella" as you call it. But paella is originary from València, and in Catalonia is made different, mainly from seafood.
