Paella, a traditional Spanish dish, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century in Valencia. Originally a humble farmer's meal, it has evolved into a beloved culinary icon. The addition of extra seafood, such as prawns, mussels, and squid, elevates the dish to a new level of indulgence. Renowned chefs like Quique Dacosta and Martin Berasategui have put their own spin on this classic, incorporating the freshest seafood from the Mediterranean. Today, the best paella with extra seafood can be savored in coastal regions like Valencia and Barcelona. The key to a perfect paella lies in the quality of the rice, saffron, and seafood, ensuring a symphony of flavors in every bite.
