Buen provecho,

Maria, they have the smaller ones in the local Ferrateria here, but not got one. Have to say this is a tourist Paella, specially formulated for the tourists tastes. It containes Pork, Chicken, Prawns and cockles, usually has mussels as well, but didn´t have today. Real ones have squid, rabbit, red and green peppers mussels chicken prawns, in fact just throw it all in :D

Oh, thanks for sharing Elle - your house looks lovely! And paella - yum! Was that 21 euros each or for both? At our 'local' we get three courses with wine for 8 or 12 euros per head, depending if you want the posh or normal menu! Coffee is a euro each!

We get three courses here too for 7€ to 8€, that Menu del Dia. Usually a salad first then Pork chops vegetables and the inevitable chips, Sweet is usually icecream or flan. Coffee here varies in the village it 1€ but when we go elsewhere can be anything up to 1.50€, needless to say we don´t go back :D
