My Favorite Spanish Meal
Sunset Dinner at El Faro by PDXFirefly
While in Spain, My girlfriend and I ate many wonderful meals. In fact , I don’t think that we had a bad meal while there. But the one that keeps showing up as my favorite is the Paella that we enjoyed at our local restaurant on the Spanish Mediterranean Costa del Sol. The restaurant sits atop a rocky point and serves local fare. We ate there three evenings and each meal was better than the previous one.
The first time we ate there, I chose my Dorado fish out of the cooler. It was so tender and flaky and cooked to perfection. The second evening we ate there we both ordered the same thing – a wonderful kabob with salad and potatoes.

But we saved the best for the last visit there. We ordered their Paella. I think that our owner/waiter made our meal himself and outdid his creation. It was incredible; there were large muscles, tiny little clams, scallops, langostinos, shrimp, and tuna all swimming in the delicious creamy saffron rice.
