Day 8: January 1 ... paella in Albayzín

You can't go to Spain and not have paella ... this would be like going to Italy and not having pasta.

So it was fitting that on January 1 we would start the year with paella.  As we strolled in the Albayzín neighbourhood, in the shadow of the Alhambra that loomed above, we stopped at a restaurant and chose a table in an open plaza.

In the picture below taken from the Alhambra, the yellowish buildings along the front mark the spot where we were seated.

 I ordered a traditional paella with seafood, chicken and chorizo sausage.  Fred ordered the squid ink version.  Both were delicious, and so was the bread and wine.
