Arroz del Senyoret or Arroz a banda

Lots of tourists came to Spain solely for its paella. And I can say, its unforgettable taste is really worth travelling half-way round the world. To say the truth, I tasted the best paella for tourists, as it’s named by Jorge – creative and charismatic Spanish chef who shared the recipe of his dish for this post – in Girona, in a rather plain outlet not far from the quay.
