Sorry! But this City Council is very stingy. The idea of a popular paella (for example, last year) with a very good atmosphere, and this year, NOTHING. We've been residents of Dénia for almost 12 years, and you've only "invited" us twice. Tomorrow you'll be collecting a ton of money from our taxes, and there's not enough for a paella. Your Excellency will surely hold a special banquet for your Community; even though we're not from here, we celebrate. Enjoy your meal!
