I have recently been diagnosed with Coeliac disease and need to cope with a gluten-free diet when we visit our apartment.  We are in the Marbella area.  Does anybody have any idea whether I can get gluten-free flour/bread etc in the supermarkets easily or do I need to go elsewhere.  All advice will be very gratefully supplied.

I'm sure you can, Maddy in the Marbella area, as in all areas. Spanish people have the same illnesses & problems as us Brits.

Rixxy, Smiley, site owner Justin are all in that area.

Alcampo (all over Spain) boast that they sell over 120 gluten free products.  This is their Marbella website http://www.alcampo.es/WebPortal/Alcampo/Paginas/MiTienda/Home.page

On the CB, Mercadona, Carrefour and Consum supermarkets have an extensive range of "productos sin gluten" so I imagine the CDS will be the same.

Best of luck

Thanks Baboal - great help.  If I know I can go without packing a courier box before I go, it will make life easier.

Hi, I am also  Coeliac and live in Spain, I find eating here is really easy, Mercadona supermarkets label everything that is gluten free "Sin Gluten", this is a little emblem on the front of packaging in red & blue. Mercadona also do some speciality gluten free products this may vary by store but my local one does mainly Procelli brand of Bread mix, part cooked baguetts,  loaves of part cooked bread, magdalena cakes which are like fairy cakes, croissants, they also do Dietary supplies cornflakes and coco puffs and I can get 2 types of biscuits, La Galleta Maria and cookie con chocolate, the brand of these is Hacendado

Most packaged meat, ie mince meat, burgers, sausages etc are also gluten free as the Spanish don´t seem to add things to their meat products, again look for the sin gluten emblem.

If you go to yr dietetica shop in town and ask for sin gluten, you should find they are able to supply you with lots more items like pizza bases, breadsticks, melba toast, more biscuits, breads, pastas etc, my local shop gives me their booklet, I tell them what I want and its usually in the shop 2-3 days later.

If you need any more information please let me know :)
