Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that is a must-try when visiting Formentera. It is a rice dish cooked with a variety of ingredients such as seafood, chicken, and vegetables. The rice is flavored with saffron and other spices, giving it a vibrant yellow color and a delicious aroma. Paella is typically cooked in a large shallow pan called a paellera, which allows the rice to cook evenly and develop a crispy bottom layer known as socarrat. The combination of flavors and textures in paella makes it a delightful and satisfying meal.
