We're paella lovers, as it turns out.

I can't say that I voted with the majority this time around. It's not that I don't love a good paella. It's just that I can't for the life of me remember when I last ate one. Now a perfect, golden tortilla de patatas....that I cannot go a month without. Pair it with a cup of gazpacho, and I'll sign anywhere, that I am never leaving Spain.
