Paellitas Tradición | Arrocería en Madrid — Restaurant in Madrid

EXTREMELY SALTY and fishy - AVOID this place especially if you are a tourist with foreign taste, unless you like salt with a side of unfresh seafood! We ordered the Valencian paella, black rice, and noodle style dish. It was the saltiest meal I have eaten in my life and it was a struggle to eat for me and my family. I have eaten plenty of Spanish and Valencian foods and paellas all across Spain and Portugal and none have ever come close to the amount of salt in this dish. As the oil and water evaporated on the pan, you could literally see salt crystals left behind. The octopus in the dishes had a strange smell and was very rubbery. As a student doctor, consuming this amount of salt is extremely unhealthy and can lead to hypertension and renal issues as well as tasting horrible. I have no idea why this restaurant claims in other reviews that extremely excessive salt is "traditional" - certainly other authentic paellas which I have eaten are nowhere near...
