You are right, saffron is the key. We buy it in Spain and friends also know to bring it back for us when they are there. We recently bought about 2 cups of it there for about $40 USD. A couple of years ago, I priced it at Safeway and it was nearly $10,000 a pound!
I sometimes do a quick version and use packets of Mahatma Yellow Saffron Rice ($0.89/packet).
