Below is a summary of the responses I received about my upcoming trip
to Spain. Many people mentioned the El Corte Ingles department
stores and the www.celiacosmadrid.org website.
thanks again for all the helpful suggestions!
Go to http://www.celiacosmadrid.org/actualidad_19.html and go to the
section labeled "EATING IN RESTAURANTS." There is a link there for
an excellent restaurant card, and there is another link for a list of
restaurants by area. When I went to Spain in April 2007, I used only
the card, not the list since I never knew where I would be at any
particular time, and most of the time, we were in small towns.
I also shopped at El Corte Ingles department stores. They have
grocery sections, and it was there that I would pick up GF baked
goods. They had a very nice variety of GF foods. Although the
employees I encountered did not speak English, I was able to find an
entire department devoted to specialty foods. I thought I'd gone to
heaven when I found a whole floor to ceiling display of gluten free
goodies.
The guide Specialgourmets (http://www.specialgourmets.com/) has over
1000 GF places in Spain. My husband is Spanish (I have actually just
arrived in Spain to spend a month here) and I've never had problems
in this country. If you want to browse the directory of Spanish
cities (with GF options), you can go to: http://
www.specialgourmets.com/index/cities-list/country/Spain
If you feel more comfortable showing the waitstaff a card, here is
the text in Spanish (just in case you don't speak it):

In many places, I found that people were familiar with gluten. For
Barcelona, the Madrid group lists the following restaurants:

It is easy to be Celiac in Spain!
Put this in the Google search bar: espana celiacos
Just watch out for malt vinegar - vinagre de malta. I didn't know
that they used it in Barcelona. Fortunately, it was not on my food.
Also, many of the restaurants know about gluten free (no glutino).
But I recommnd you take along a Spanish language card. Since I speak
some Spanish I did not need it.
