I love paella and I plan to go travel in Spain. If I absolutely want to eat their paella as much as possible, where is a good place to go? I'd prefer a big city because I'm going there as a tourist.

Valencia.
The Paella Valenciana is famous.
The 3rd. largest city in Spain.

If you happen to come to Barcelona don't eat a "paella" in Las Ramblas...it's extremely expensive and not good at all (they do it just for tourist so you won't eat the authentic paella and you'll leave a fortune).
In Spain there is a brand called "paellador" that most restaurants serve as real paella and it's just frozen, it all comes in a package and it's not good at all.
Try some in some restaurant where locals go...it's not expensive.
Valencia is the "paella" home!

Just remember when you go out to eat try to sit down at the bar, its alot cheaper then if you sit down at a table and have to be served. I had Paella in Valencia it was good. I think Spain is great I hope you have a good time.

Most large cities in Spain have small cafés and/or restaurants that serve excellent paella as a "tapa", or a main dish as part of the menu del dia (daily menu).
The best paellas are in Valencia, the city where the paella was created. It is the local dish "par exellence"... The beach restaurants have great paellas!
Enjoy your holiday,,,and your paellas!

Try Barcelona - in the evening there are plenty cafes and restaurants around the Ramblas but you might like to head down to the harbour to dine at Port Olympic or in a traditional paella restaurant. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelona.htm for more details

Well, if you're willing to venture "off the beaten path" , i suggest taking a trip to Williamsburg. It's just a few stops on the L train from Union Square. There is a restaurant there called "Sea". It's really a lot of fun to go to and the food is CHEAP. You really get your money's worth. Average entree is $9 and you can load up on a bunch of cheap appetizers. On top of that, the atmosphere is AMAZING. You can probably tell from the picture below. Its truelly a unique experience (or as they say, THE Thai Experience) :-P.

Girona, which is north of Barcelona.

Another vote for Valencia, where it was invented.
