It's on a bit of a dodgy street alongside the train station, we actually thought we had the wrong place as nothing else around but then we spotted it. You have to ring a bell to get it, it looks like it's run by an older couple, who provide very efficient service. We had the veggie paella which was huge and delicious. Being a vegetarian I'd struggling a bit to find a decent meal and this was just lovely, loads of veg and flavour. It's was more expensive than other places we'd been 16€ each but worth it. It takes at least 30mins to cook but some locals came in who have preordered so I presume you could do this if you wanted to the day before or something.

This one isn't geared up for passing trade it's a fairly plain doorway on a street opposite the railway lines into the station. Not particularly glamorous. Inside isn't flashy either, and nor is the food, but it tastes superb. We loved it, and would recommend you go, but you might need to be hungry... The tomato salad was amazing. And huge. I'm glad my wife didn't order a starter, because we ended up sharing it. The Blind Paella (no shells to peel off) was delicious, and we almost managed to finish it. Foolishly, I ordered grilled pineapple for dessert, thinking it would be a light way to round off the meal. It turned out to be a quarter of a pineapple with candied walnuts and cream. I struggled through. Yum.
