The real specialty of El Pastelero however, is the not-so-light stuff. The buckwheat option is not as ‘integral’ as I’d like but when it’s hot as hell outside do you think I’m baking my own bread at home? Nope. Normally you’ll see one white bread and one buckwheat option and maybe just small sandwich size rolls, no baguettes or other types of heartier fare (though they may have had in the past because they still have an old menu up with lots of options on it that no longer exist). Unless you are in Madrid or Barcelona (well even in those cities let’s be honest) it is not an easy feat to find a bakery that makes fresh gluten free BREAD (that’s not heavy as a rock and as dry as a pile of chalk dust) or savory products (not just sweets) in Spain and doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for it. This is a 100% gluten-free bakery. And one that actually has savory as well as sweet products.

Your gluten-free (sin gluten) life in Malaga is not complete until you have tasted the goodness that is El Pastelero Real.įirst off, no need to ask which items are gluten-free. Located within a few minutes walk from the center of Malaga.Īddress: Calle dos Aceras, 24, 29012 MálagaĬLOSED SUNDAYS (and daily during Spanish lunch hours) Sort of like horchata, but so much better because of the high quality natural ingredients and no refined sugar. *Try their delicious rice drink (made from rice and spices and sweetened with dried fruits).

They typically have a few different options including some sort of cakes (carrot, pumpkin, spice or other), various fruit tarts (apple, pear, lemon…) and chocolatey goodies (brownie or cake type concoction made with pure cocoa).ġ00% of products here are naturally gluten-free and vegan and refined sugar free since they are macro products. Just fruits, nuts and some dehydrated grains make up these deliciously healthy and naturally gluten-free and vegan treats. No sugars, no refined flours, no dairy, no eggs. Macrodulces are as guilt free as treating yourself to something delicious can get! Gluten-free or otherwise. Málaga sin Gluten! You can expect more posts to come on organic/bio/vegan cafes and restaurants with great GF options as well as on the local bio and eco markets. This, in turn, has helped the GF & healthy food scene here, making living gluten-free in Malaga much easier!īesides the few specially dedicated gluten-free bakeries and the naturally gluten-free (raw, macro etc) bakeries and cafes in Malaga you also have a small handful of vegan/vegetarian bakeries or cafes as well as bio shops and even a couple of outdoor bio or eco markets (held once or twice a month in certain locations).įor the purpose of this post, I’m limiting this list to 100% gluten-free bakeries. However, though Malaga is a small city, it has really embraced the global trend towards eating more bio/eco/organic foods.

In major cities (like Madrid and Barcelona) you can usually find a few, but even there the options are limited. Outside of major cities it’s not easy to get a great selection of gluten free products. Gluten free travel in Spain can be difficult.
