The Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Barcelona, Spain
Although we stayed in Barcelona for five nights, we really only spent two solid days exploring the city. Despite our short time there, the gastro scene left a huge impression on me, especially because the city is so celiac-friendly.
QUICK TRANSLATOR
Soy celiaco (m), soy celiaca (f) = I am celiac

BONUS* BEST GF BAKERY: PASTISSERIA JANSANA
If you've been watching your friends stuff their faces with delicious baked goods the whole trip, you'll start getting hangry for something sweet. This bakery has AMAZING gluten free baked goods, including GF chocolate croissants!! I should've bought ten of these suckers. So hard to find GF croissants that are the right texture. I also bought a lemon meringue tart which was equally to die for.
I was so impressed with how many restaurants in Barcelona had at least something gluten-free on the menu and were familiar with celiac. I would eat my way back through this city in a heartbeat.
