WHERE TO EAT The best Arroz con conejo y caracoles in the world (according to food experts)

"We can’t tell you about the menu of Casa Elias for all we really know is about its Paella — a delectable and masterful preparation of rice with rabbit and snails, herbs, and slowly cooked on firewood."

"The main dish of the house, which has become a must, worth a long journey, is the rice, the one with rabbit and snails. The beans appear loose and in two textures: al dente and socarrat; presenting a height of less than a finger. The best part lies in the aroma and flavour of the cereal, deeply perfumed by the vine shoot, in which it is cooked over a very lively fire, which envelops the paella, giving it a charming rusticity, which conveys authenticity and a lot of taste."

"Specialising in traditional cuisine from Elche, it is the ideal place to enjoy a good Arroz con conejo y caracoles."

"As a main course, and only with pre-order, you can enjoy the fantastic arroz con conejo y caracoles. The rice we had was simply incredible: powerful in flavour, cooked to perfection, with a very tasty smoky touch."
