Spanish mixed paella

First time I tried paella during my first visit to Spain ( I think I was 14)! And I fell in love with this dish! I remember there was a  little seashore family restaurant. The food there was so good, that my mom and I couldn't stop eating ....  Paella was the dish I ordered almost every night!
