Share a summary of our experience with the gluten-free food tour from Barcelona.
Hello friends! How are you doing? I hope you have a great week. We enjoy being at home again, even though we definitely miss our Spain adventure. After 5 weeks in Europe I definitely got used to this life 😉
Something we learned during our trip: how much we all loved Barcelona. It was our first time and since the pilot couldn’t make it into the part of the trip – he was there in the last four days of our time – we told him just had to go back.
A big highlight: The gluten-free food tour, led by Dvir Bar.
As you know, we are important gourmets and love to check new food and restaurants on site and when we travel. I have been strictly gluten -free on my healing trip for two years and in January we learned that P had a severe gluten sensitivity. While I am in the gluten -free block nearby for a while, P still learns … and is sometimes (very understandably) defused if it does not give a gluten -free option for you.
To lighten your Barcelona Day, I carried out some researched options and found that Barcelona is a paradise for gluten-free food options and that you had a popular gluten-free food tour. I signed up immediately.
When the day arrived, P and I were pretty pumped over it. Liv was a good sport and excited to try new foods.
Our guide, DVIR, was absolutely wonderful. He spoke English (our group of 11 people was all Americans) and has been celiac disease for 40 years. He knew the best of the best places in Barcelona and brought us to six different places for amazing gluten -free options. We had chocolate, Jamón, ice cream on gluten -free cones, pizza, pastries, empanadas, it was incredible.
I thought it was great how the tour was set up. We went all the time and when we came at every place, they had several rehearsals that we could try. In the pizza restaurant, our table had five full pizzas of the best flavors. We gave us the opportunity to try many different things, and in the end we were very full and happy.
Although I don’t want to ruin the surprises of the tour, here are my three best places we have visited:
-Glutery for gluten -free empanadas.
The chicken and the onion were everything…. I will dream of the Empanada until we are back.
Look at this face. Pure joy.
– Cøliaki Bakery.
We tried a selection of gluten-free pastries, including Nutella-Croissants that free my soul. Usually GF pastries are disappointing and these were light, tasteful and perfectly sweet.
– Messi pizza.
Pizza is another thing that often disappointed me in the gluten -free world. It is usually super crispy, tough and/or boring. This was real pizza and we had to try some incredible flavors. I also had my first beer for years !! I think he said you have 40 different types of gluten -free beer?!
If you are celiac disease or gluten -free for health reasons or just want to love food and try new places, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Go to book in advance. So book your place as soon as you know that you are going to Barcelona. The link is here!
And just a heads -up, that’s not sponsored or something and I paid happy for our participation. I am only happy to spread the word!
So, tell me, friends: what is your favorite -fine tasty goal?
Gluten -free friends: What is your favorite local gluten -free food or restaurant?
