Get a great paella in Barceloneta
What is it? This seaside neighbourhood serves up some of the best paella in the city.

Why go? Finding good rice dishes can be a struggle, but Barceloneta is home to restaurants that get it
right more often than not. La Barraca, La Mar Salada, Can Solé, Ca la Nuri and 7 Portes are some of the
best places for paella and rice dishes.

Don’t miss: Out of all the options on all the menu at 7 Portes, we recommend you try the 'paella
parellada', because why mess with shellfish when the chef can do it for you?

of the kitchen. It’s said they invented and are best known for the spicy potato and mince meat 'bomba',

mussels, clams and prawns.

your thing, make sure to set aside a bit more for the special occasion.
