Restaurant Parpalló
Ca Maria
La vida, a foc lent
La Drova · Barx · des de 1963
Valencian paellas and rice dishes, pastissets and home cooking in a place where calm invites you to eat without haste.
More than 60 years
Since 1963, Parpalló has been part of La Drova. A home kitchen that, generation after generation, has accompanied family meals, conversations and long after-dinner chats.
We’ve modernised the house, but not the essentials: the way we cook, entertain and enjoy a leisurely meal.

Creemos que disfrutar de una buena mesa también tiene que ver con el tiempo: el que necesita un buen arroz, el que merece una conversación y el que uno se regala cuando sube hasta aquí.

House dishes
Valencian paella
Fresh ingredients, skill and time: three things we never compromise on when making paella. The finishing touch is at the table, where we can enjoy it at our leisure.
Pastissets
Pastissets (Valencian pastries) are one of our signature dishes. Handmade every day, from the dough to the filling and forming. Freshly baked, they are the most recognisable way to start a meal in Parpalló.
Arroz al horno - Valencian baked rice
A home-made recipe using puchero (stew) stock, prepared just as it has always been in our family. A take on the traditional recipe, full of depth, character and a flavour all of its own.
Hand-picked wines
A good bottle of wine shouldn’t be a luxury when dining out. We stock quality and reputable fine wines, always ensuring that we can offer them at reasonable prices.
Campillo Crianza · D.O.Ca. Rioja
A classic, balanced Rioja with character. Our reference for those looking for a recognisable red wine.
O Luar do Sil · D.O. Valdeorras
A project of Pago de los Capellanes from Galicia. A white with personality that broadens the view of our cellar.
Pago de Tharsys
Our nod to Valencian sparkling wines: to open the meal, accompany it or extend it when the occasion calls for it.
La Drova's slower rhythm
About 15 minutes from Gandia, the landscape changes, the mountains appear, and so does the rhythm. Without realising it, when you arrive in Parpalló, you are ready to enjoy the table.
La Drova has accumulated layers of life for centuries: the stones of the Parpalló cave, the legacy of the monks of Valldigna, the water from its springs and the tranquillity that has made this place a haven of rest. Gathering around a table here means sharing a little of all that.
"La vida, a foc lent" (val. life in a slow lane; lit. life on a slow fire) reminds us that a good meal, a company, and a long after-dinner chat deserve time.
