People visit Spain from all over the world for the country’s classics: Flamenco dancing, fruity sangria and a hearty platter of paella. The flavorful rice dice is said to have originated in Valencia, a city on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, but has since spread like wildfire to every corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Below are some of the best spots to savor this sultry dish.
Casa de Valencia, Madrid
The capital of Spain has no choice but to show off the country’s unofficial national dish. Thus, Madrid’s best option is this charming restaurant with 13 different rice dishes including specialty paellas mixed with succulent seafood and fresh vegetables.
Xativa, Barcelona
When you’re not gawking at Gaudi’s masterpieces or gulping down sangria on the beach, tuck inside this quaint restaurant in the trendy Gracia neighborhood that specializes in both Valencian and Catalan paella.
