Lunch at Merendero José Cruz on Burriana beach today, so just had to try their paella having already sampled those at Ayo’s and La Barca on a number of occasions.
There is always a great debate as to who produces the best paella and many seem to judge, at least in part, based on how many ‘bits’ are in the dish. So, there were 15 prawns/shrimps (although it must be said that a fair number were minute to say the very least), 2 large mussels, 2 cockles, 4 pieces of chicken plus bits of calamares etc.
Nice atmosphere in José Cruz, very good service, a tapas while you wait for the food (which isn’t long) the paella was hot and tasty and at €6.50 for a portion you can’t really complain.
And these were all the leftover shells etc.
