We rode our bikes from Valencia to El Palmar and I was starving by the time we arrived at Mateu. We were determined to have paella and since my friend does not eat chicken we opted for the Seafood Paella. The paella takes 30 minutes to prepare as each pan is made to order.

I really enjoyed this experience and everyone should visit. And before or after dinner, play on the beach.
