Barcelona trip

[phillipcl.]

Hello! 

In two weeks I'm going to Barcelona for 1,5 weeks for the first time, and I'm slightly worried.

I know there will be some gluten-free products in supermarkets, but I won't be able to cook every day.

Maybe someone has already been there and can recommend some good places to eat, I'd appreciate any recommendations!

I realize this article isn't a perfect fit, but the apps mentioned work in Spain as well, and there is a Spanish restaurant card in this article which may be helpful in Spain as well:

I'm jealous!

I've been to Spain a couple of times and love it so very much (never been to Cataluna though).

However, when I was there, I was pre-diagnosis. They do eat a lot of torta (spanish omlette sometimes called tortilla), so generally that should be ok, just make sure there's no "harina de trigo" (wheat flour) in it, likely not. In other parts of Spain, maybe Cataluna as well, there's lots of ham and olives. Cheese. (Breakfast could be incredibly challenging.)

But - a quick google (gluten free Cataluna) turned this up!

"I’m not sure I was completely prepared for the sheer number of safe gluten free restaurants in Barcelona. From tapas, to fish and chips, to many, many different gluten free bakeries, there are a bunch of great gluten free options in Barcelona." -- will try to post that web site below.

Thank you so much!

I am also planning a trip to Spain next month, specifically Barcelona and Madrid, and this topic is very helpful. I just have a few questions. Firstly, I need help finding hotels in both cities that serve gluten-free food. Do you know any? Secondly, I'm thinking about whether to hire a guide or explore by myself. What do you think?  Any other tips for visiting Barcelona and Madrid would be great! Thanks a bunch!
