In our blog about the best paellas in Madrid, we have explained its origin and the reasons for its rapid expansion. Undoubtedly, it is an extremely versatile dish in its numerous preparations, spectacular in its presentation, delightful on the palate, and of course, nutritious. Purists say that the water used for cooking the paella must be hard water, that is, with a high concentration of calcium and other salts. This is the type of water that is usually found on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, and especially in cities such as Valencia, Alicante and Barcelona. In addition, the water’s action at atmospheric pressure at or near sea-level and at its point of cooking, rather than in higher areas like Madrid, influences the process of absorption of the broth by the rice grains, and therefore, its flavor and unique texture. The truth is that you can find great paellas throughout the Spain, but always bear in mind that the origin of the dish is on the Mediterranean coast where its cuisine is one of its greatest characteristics.
