For the moments when a quick exchange isn't enough — when you're ordering a full meal, navigating a traditional Spanish kitchen, or trying to understand exactly what's in a dish.
This laminated tri-fold card is designed for the full dining conversation in Spain. It opens with a clear medical declaration — Tengo enfermedad celíaca. No puedo comer gluten. — and carries that framing through every question and requirement that follows. Kitchen staff understand this is not a preference before they read another word.
Spanish dining culture is generous and social, but tapas kitchens move fast — shared fryers, flour-dusted surfaces, and sauces thickened in ways that don't appear on any menu. This card gives you the language to ask the right questions before the plate arrives.
Compact enough for a wallet. Laminated for durability. Folds flat and travels well.
Single card. Tri-fold, laminated. Wallet size.
Includes:
Dining questions covering cross-contamination, fryer use, sauce ingredients, and kitchen communication — in Spanish and English
Meal requirement statements your server can bring directly to the kitchen
Ingredients to avoid, listed in Spanish with English translations
Pairs well with A Celiac Guide to the Spanish Table — a digital companion that gives you the reasoning behind every phrase, the hidden risks specific to Spanish kitchens, and the vocabulary to handle situations the card alone cannot cover. Read it before you go. Reference it on your phone when you need it.
Also pairs well with the Spanish Celiac Café Card — keep the translation card in your wallet for sit-down meals, and hand off a café card at quick stops. Available together in the Spain Celiac Card Set, or with the digital guide in the Spain Celiac Travel Set.
