Spanish vegan food!

Question

Dear all,

I just came back from a week in Asturias (north of Spain) with my flexitarian boyfriend. Boy oh boy we ate so well! If you go to Gijón (which is  where our Air B&B was) you will find enough restaurants to eat fully vegan for a week without having to go to the same place twice. I've reviewed 7 different places - all 4 or 5 stars and quite affordable!
I was especially blown away by how those places adapted Spanish cuisine. I must say I missed Spanish tortilla from my pre-vegan days... well I had it several times there, fully vegan! Same with croquetas, albondigas, and of course burgers.
I love going to Spain (I teach Spanish) but this was the first time I was going as a vegan. If you have any tips on other vegan-friendly Spanish cities, please post your suggestions :-)

Great to know for my next trip to Spain. I'm in Cantabria and Baque country at the moment. Found Santander terrible for vegans. We stayed in a cabin in the mountains in Cantabria and cooked a lot by ourselves, which is great as the veggies here are delicious. The tofu I bought at an organic shop was horrible though.

Now I'm at the coast between Bilbao and San Sebastian and again eating vegan here is not great. In the smaller towns I have to explain what vegan is and get a boring salad, patatas fritas and pimientos. Tomorrow we'll be visiting Bilbao. Yay!! Great city for vegans, I was there in February already.
