People speak in hushed tones about the paella at Casa Elias. With a thickness of a single grain of rice and made with loads of crunchy rice known as Socorrat - this is Paella of the highest order. Casa Elias is for dedicated eaters only as it is located 2 hours from Valencia and 45 minutes from the Alicante airport. A contender with Casa Carmela for the best paella in the world.
