If you're wondering where to try Spanish rice dishes in Altea, Restaurant Tossal Roig is a good option. Aside from the well-known paella, other choices such as arroz caldoso are available.
Arroz caldoso, which roughly translates as "brothy rice," is a rice dish popular throughout the Iberian Peninsula, including Portugal. Oh, how I miss the seafood rice from Portugal! :)
We tried the hearty octopus and vegetable rice here, and I enjoyed savouring the broth in its lovely courtyard with the endless sunshine.
在西班牙，特别是东海岸，有很多arrocerías，是名副其实的饭店，因为名字意思就是专门卖饭的店。这对喜欢吃饭多过面包的我来说，真是福音呀～
然鹅，这里的米不同于自己平常做饭用的茉莉香米。瓦伦西亚大区盛产短粒米，在郊区常常看到一片片的稻田。这种瓦伦西亚米颗粒短小，淀粉含量高，粘性低，能够吸收两到三倍的水而不爆裂。所以，这类短粒米常被用来做知名的西班牙烩饭等主食。
我们在Altea这家饭店点的不是来自瓦伦西亚的干烩饭paella，而是arroz caldoso，一种浓汤泡饭，类似葡萄牙的海鲜饭。汤汁浓稠鲜美，但是因为米比较粗硬，在我尝来，还是没有葡萄牙的那么好吃。
菜单上也有各种干烩饭paella供选择，这些年在西班牙吃了很多不同口味的，哪天来放送个合集。:) 今天推介这家店，除了专门卖饭，还因为建筑风格和露天庭院看着很有当地特色。
去年说过，这边不少用词受到加泰罗尼亚语的影响，比如这家饭店名字里的tossal roig，就是加语里“红色小山丘”的意思，在这依山傍海的温暖红土坡上，相当应景呢。

這麼美這麼好吃，怎麼沒客人呢？☹️

The broth rice or arroz caldozo is very familiar to us Filipinos(Philippines) because we were colonized by the spaniards for 333 years. What a history!
And it is best eaten during rainy days.
That's interesting to know. I also liked the garlic rice in the Philippines that was often served at breakfast. :)
Ohhh that's yummy too.
