The best paellas in Barcelona

Spring is already here and it has brought the good weather and the opportunity to enjoy the sun in the best areas of the city. After a cold winter, who does not want to go for a walk on the beach and have a delicious paella?

The Barceloneta promenade, and the several beaches in the towns which belong to the Maresme area, are the ideal places to do so. In the Catalan capital, there are plenty of restaurants in which you can find all kinds of paella/rice: seafood or vegetable paella, ‘arroz caldoso’, or ‘arroz negro’ are some of the most popular dishes on the menus.
