Restaurant Highlight – Rasoterra In Barcelona, Spain

No veggie burger, no pizza and no wraps? What do you offer then? Rasoterra isn’t a typical vegetarian restaurant, this is precisely why it has deserved the title of best vegetarian restaurant in Barcelona. Don’t expect to find veggie burgers, burritos or salad bowls. You will only get creativity and art in the form of healthy dishes. Surprising compositions made of the best local ingredients–that is their leitmotiv. They approach…

Restaurant Review: Giusto Vegan In Torrevieja, Spain

Torrevieja is well known for its beaches and is one of the most tourist-heavy cities in Spain. However, it is by no means the capital of veganism. There are a few restaurants that offer vegan options, but only one that is 100% vegan, and that’s Giusto Vegan Restaurant. When you walk into Giusto Vegan you instantly get an Italian vibe. They have the typical Toscana chairs and decor made with…

Restaurant Review: Roots & Rolls, Barcelona

If you can easily find most of your favourite food transformed into a yummy vegan meal, sushi often remains the craving that devoted vegans suffer from. Already conceived as a healthy option, the plant-based chefs seem to focus less on the Japanese delicacies than on the myriad ways to revisit the classics. Burgers, wraps, pizzas are the main attractions of the plant-based culinary scene. Regretfully, vegan restaurants tend to neglect…

Restaurant Highlight: Floripa, Barcelona

Barcelona is, in a word, gorgeous. This diverse city offers everything from alta-montaña views to skinny Spanish-style streets. But most importantly, they’ve got a fast-growing vegan scene and some restaurants in town that are seriously pushing beyond the boundaries of vegan coolness. While filming for the documentary series, I was working with two different vegan organizations in Barcelona. I also met up with a friend I’d made while backpacking through…

Eatin’ Good in Granada

Although I don’t think it formally deserves this title, so far Spain feels like the meat capital of the world. However, Granada (in the south of Spain) has a booming vegan scene that’s growing every year!  I didn’t get to spend much time in Granada, but I did have the opportunity to work with an incredible little vegetarian restaurant that offered a heap of superb vegan dishes by the name of…

Vegans On Holiday: Mallorca, The Number One Destination!

Believe it or not, but Mallorca is the top destination for vegans in Europe. I know I’m using superlatives here, but I do believe it’s true. Not only are more and more high-class restaurants (such as the “Hotel Valldemossa” or the two-star Michelin restaurant “Es Fum”) starting to offer extensive vegan menus, but the local government is also recognizing the rising number of vegans on the largest Balearic island. How do I know? Well,…

Just a Pack’s Vegan Travel Tips for Andalucia

Andalucia

Having come from Barcelona, a veritable vegan heaven, Andalucia was a bit of a culinary desert for a traveling herbivore. It’s a region in Spain well known for tapas (small plates of food) which mainly consist of pork, beef, eggs, or some other animal based product. No need to skip Andalucia though. With a bit of research and planning you won’t starve. Plus there’s always Sangria…which does have fruit in…

Just a Pack’s Vegan Travel Tips for Barcelona

barcelona spain

After Paris, my Just a Pack travel companion and I jumped on a plane and headed to Barcelona, Spain. The city far exceeded my expectations for vegan dining options. In the past, and before I was vegetarian, I traveled all over Spain and what I remember is jamón, jamón, jamón. It seemed like most dishes included it or some other type of meat, seafood, or cheese. So I didn’t really…

Travelling in Spain and Guatemala with Veganbnb Travel – an interview with Emma Fry

As the years pass, being vegan is becoming more widely accepted around the world and it certainly is much easier to go on vacation as a conscientious traveler. With the increasing popularity of vegetarian and vegan friendly accommodation, I had however, until recently, not managed to track down any travel organizations that specialize in exclusive vegan travel. Much to my delight, at the annual VegFest event in Brighton, England, I…
