An hour outside of Granada, Spain, in a field between grapevines, our Cook was creating paella – enough to feed 300 people! In the way of such days, things were running behind schedule and it was well after 3 p.m. when the Paella was served. In this photo a whole jar of seasoning had just been added to the mix.
