We found Barcelona to be fairly vegan friendly. We found some places on Happy Cow listed as vegan and we also happened upon some vegan friendly places passing by and reading menus. Down by the beach we had a bit of a hard time finding something to eat. In most cities the waterfront is the worst place to find vegan food so maybe pack some snacks if you head to the beach.





Cat Bar : Located in the Gothic Quarter, Cat Bar is a vegan bar that specialises in beer. They have a larger number of craft beers on tap and one cheap macro brew as well. The food was fantastic in Cat Bar but you are going to need to drink a lot of beverages as it gets very hot inside during the summer. As far as atmosphere, it's pretty casual inside; there is a guitar and piano for people to play open mic night style.

DosTrece : A veg-friendly brunch cafe - lounge that has quite a few vegan options. The vegan options are things you want to eat like nachos, french toast, and tacos so it is worth a visit. We just happened upon this place while we were trying to find somewhere else but we were happy we stopped by.









For more vegan options check out Happy Cow which has a comprehensive list of vegan, vegetarian and veg-friendly places to eat. Happy Cow states that Barcelona has 12 fully vegan places. There seems to be many places we missed and possibly ones that have just opened up since we were there last.





Sight Seeing:

Barcelona is a beautiful looking city thanks to all the Modernisme style buildings and the work of the architect Gaudí who creates very unique looking buildings. The most famous building in Barcelona is the Sagrada Família which is a massive church designed by

Gaudí that has been under construction since 1882. The boulevard called La Rambla is one of the biggest tourist sights in the city with all the restaurants, bars, vendors and all sorts of fun that can be had there. There is a statue of Christopher Columbus at one end of La Rambla called

Gaudí with a crazy looking design. You could start by taking a walking tour or getting on a "hop on hop off" bus and get to know the city a bit more.

Do you have a favourite vegan restaurant you would like to add to our list?

is the capital of the Catalonia region of Spain and also the country's second most populated city. There is a fair number of vegan places to eat in Barcelona. It's a popular tourist destination which might turn off people that prefer the road less travelled but when you go you'll understand Barcelona's popularity.It is an beautiful city with incredible architecture everywhere. There is a huge beach and it is a perfect summer time destination. The public transport is good making it easy to get around. Like most big cities in Europe they have a hop on hop off bus for tourists. The city comes alive at night and it's super fun to wander through the narrow streets and alleys in the Gothic Quarter full of restaurants and bars; Also check out La Rambla which is a boulevard that is a big tourist attraction with lots of excitement.We flew into Barcelona El Prat Airport and took a taxi into town to our hotel. You can also get a bus to and from the airport. The airport is well connected and if you don't want to pay for a taxi then the bus is the best option. If you are at a hotel they might have a shuttle bus available.On La Rambla we found some cheap falafel pita but we don't remember the name of the place we went. Falafel places are pretty commonplace so you should be able to find these all over the city wherever restaurants are found.Mirador de Colón. Casa Milà is another famous building byOur hotel was Hotel Regincia Colon . It is listed as a 3 star hotel, but receives 4 star reviews on Expedia. We picked this hotel as it was reasonably cheap for a room for 3 people. We arrived too early for check in, so we left our bags. It was free to store our bags in their storage closet. All the staff were very friendly. The hotel is in the perfect spot in the city, right in Gothic Quarter, very close to La Rambla and on a route of the hop on hop off bus. We also had a lot of space in our room for 3 people.
