Wow, what a place! We ordered the Artichoke salad which was the most amazing salad I ever had in my life! And then the pulpo (dry) paella, which the waiter recommended. Never had dry paella before but it was perfect! Also, the chef brought the dishes out to every table and had a chat with everyone, very personal. And the presentation of the dishes and all the ingredients were so fresh!! I’m surprised there wasn’t a queue to get in! I want to go back!

Very tasty paella! + we tried the paella señorita and it was delicious! The rice is perfectly cooked and it has a lot of seafood - the service was very slow. This could certainly be improved, but the food was delicious Better to make a reservation upfront.

Top top top! You are in the old town looking for a restaurant and think that walking to this restaurant close to the bus station is too much of a detour, think again! We had the best paella of our stay in Spain during which we tried a different paella restaurant almost everyday! We were very well welcomed and taken care of. The cake was excellent as well!
