Lovers of Spain's culinary pride paella know that this dish is prepared in a large pan. But how big is big? How about a few meters in diameter. That's how colossal are the pans that are regularly used to liven up the fiestas in neighborhoods, districts or villages. From spring to autumn there is always a party to celebrate where the giant paella is central. These meetings are well worth a visit, because for a few euros (sometimes even free) you can immerse yourself in a food culture that is so typically Spanish. Besides a plate of paella, bread and a drink, these parties offer Spanish hospitality and usually live music and dancing. And what about a free Spanish lesson during dinner and while listening to the interpretation of the local musical hero of 'Una paloma blanca'.
