Not easy finding recommendations about this specifically - really want to see what paella is all about, but don't eat meat/fish. Has anyone had a rich veggie paella who put a fight against the "regular" ones, but not very expensive either?
Thanks!

As ever - yelp is good for these questions: https://www.yelp.com.au/search?find_desc=Vegetarian+Paella&find_loc=Barcelona
vegetarian paella is paella de verduras it is not uncommon, many restaurants that sell paella also sell paella de verduras this has been my observation.

paella is very easy to find in vegetarian versions as noted above in more traditional restuarants in Catalunya you might find it is called Arroz de Verduras, which is still a type of Paella but the "catalan version"

I understand it exists, but I couldn't find many specific places that were tried and recommended. From my experience as a vegetarian, sometimes dishes originally with meat get veggified (haha) just so there's an option for someone vegetarian at the table, but not as rich and planned. So, I really meant specific places where it's been tried and liked. Only if someone did, of course..

That's why I offered the yelp link - that's where people try thing and like them (or not).
But do check whether there is no meat stock in it.
When googling the first recipe i came across adds 'caldo de pollo', chicken stock.
