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 covers the Spanish foods most likely to contain hidden gluten, the questions worth asking about preparation and cross-contamination, and the specific phrasing that signals to kitchen staff that this is a medical need — not a preference.
Spain requires more vigilance than its Mediterranean neighbors. Tapas culture means shared kitchens, shared fryers, and rapid turnover — croquetas, patatas bravas, and churros are everywhere, and cross-contamination risk is real. Spanish awareness of celiac disease is growing, but the language still matters. Enfermedad celíaca is the phrase that opens the right conversation. This card makes sure you have it.
Compact enough for a wallet. Laminated for durability. Folds flat and travels well.
Includes:
Spanish foods that commonly contain hidden gluten
Cross-contamination and preparation questions
Key phrases for communicating celiac disease vs. gluten sensitivity
Safe and unsafe ingredient reference for Spanish cuisine
Single card. Tri-fold, laminated. Wallet size.
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.
