Is there a particular dish that is highly recommended by the staff?

Absolutely! One dish that often comes highly recommended by the staff is the local seafood paella. This vibrant dish, a staple in coastal regions, is celebrated for its rich flavors and colorful presentation. Made with freshly caught seafood, like shrimp, mussels, and squid, it’s complemented by saffron-infused rice that absorbs all the delightful juices and spices. The staff usually emphasizes how the paella is prepared in a traditional wide, shallow pan, allowing the rice to cook evenly and develop a crispy bottom layer known as socarrat, which is a true delicacy.

Another dish that garners enthusiastic praise is the slow-cooked lamb shank. This dish is typically seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices, then braised for several hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. The staff takes pride in serving it with a side of creamy polenta or roasted vegetables, which perfectly balances the rich flavors of the lamb. They often share that this dish embodies the heartiness of the local cuisine and is a favorite among both locals and visitors alike, making it a must-try for anyone looking to experience authentic flavors during their stay.
