La Zorra

Unlike the many tourist traps at the nearby beachfront, this place in Sitges isn’t the kind of place you stumble upon by accident. La Zorra makes some of the best paella around—not just in Catalonia, but in all of Spain. Their versions don't stick to traditions, so you can dig into a giant pan of seabass and Iberian ham paella or even one packed with crab meat, bottarga, and served with a whole spider crab on top. You’ll most likely need a reservation weeks in advance, especially during summer weekends when the day-trippers come to town.
