“Be prepared that this paella is an al dente one. I was with a family of 6 adults and two kids. It was fun but I think it took Tony longer to get started since there was a lot of conversation. My shrimps and mussels were not cooked, unless Madrid paella believe that the shrimp and mussels should be undercooked. There was also a sangria class. Wish he had mentioned the contribution of the Arabs having introduced rice to Spain instead of saying that it originated in the 14th century”
