Cava Bodega in Galway will hold a week-long celebration for World Paella Day, running 18th to the 24th of September, with free Paella tasting on Sunday the 24th.

The diversity of Paella will be celebrated in Cava Bodega, with a range of special paella dishes throughout the week, culminating with a tasting event Sunday 24th.

During Paella Week at Cava Bodega, Middle Street in Galway, from 5pm to 7pm each evening, guests can enjoy a special Paella for two plus two glasses of sherry for €30. Each day will have a different Paella special, guests can expect meat, chicken, chorizo, vegetable or seafood paellas.

On Sunday 24th from 4pm to 5pm, JP McMahon will be demo-ing how to cook paella and offering samples of seafood and oyster paella from a large paella pan outside Cava Bodega on Middle Street. Setting up a traditional paella pan outside is a sight often seen in many parts of Spain, to entice passersby into the restaurant with the delicious aromas. JP hopes to interest those who have never tasted the dish before and convert them to this staple Spanish dish.
