Ways to feed and decorate
The traditional way is to serve Spanish paella with pink Catalan or Valencian wine, however, in the absence of these types, you can use those that are in the house. Still pink or white dry is preferred. The dish is served hot, that is, immediately from the stove. Serve the paella in plates and treat your loved ones and friends.
