GLUTEN FREE TRAVEL – DESTINOS SIN GLUTEN

YOUR TRAVEL AGENCY, SPECIALIZED IN LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE WITH CELIAC DISEASE.

Whenever we organised a holiday the same thing always happened. Preparing the trip became an arduous and tiring job which took days and days to do.

From our own experience, even if a hotel is able to offer us gluten-free products, it does not necessarily mean that there won’t be any problems. We have to adapt the hotel to our needs, if possible, or choose another establishment which fully meets our expectations.

Obviously, preparing a business trip for an adult with Coeliac disease is not the same as preparing a holiday in a tropical paradise for a family with a 6-year-old with Coeliac disease, or a honeymoon cruise for a recently-married couple where one of them has Coeliac disease.

Before DSG Viajes was set up, organising a holiday was a long and tiring job. First we had to make a preliminary selection of all the hotels in the area which could offer us gluten-free food with minimum risks. With this initial list we could then begin to work. We would have to contact the hotels to check what knowledge they had of Coeliac disease, confirm that no changes had been made to the food from the information that we had previously received, and ensure that the hotel would be able to offer us what we required.

Once we had selected our “Gluten-free” hotel, we would need to contact the kitchen (if that was possible without the help of the travel agency) to make one last check if the staff at the hotel were informed, and tell the hotel the age and food preferences of those who had Coeliac disease, as well as any other special circumstances.

At the same time, we would work on the preparation of a list of restaurants and shops in the area where we could be guaranteed to find gluten-free food. We all know how complicated that is.

After one of these trips, we thought “THIS HAS TO CHANGE. SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THIS WORK”.

As there was no such thing in the market, we decided to devote our lives to this project. Following months of hard work “DESTINOS SIN GLUTEN” was born, your travel agency which specialises in services for people with Coeliac disease. We have decided to be “YOUR GLUTEN-FREE TRAVEL COMPANIONS.”

It is no longer necessary to choose between someone who understands what it is like to live gluten-free and a specialist in travelling. We know about both of these things.

Organising a gluten-free holiday is more than just asking for a special meal when booking flights, but that is all that most travel agencies can do (they lack the knowledge and personal experience to be able to go further). However, Destinos Sin Gluten can transform your trip into a completely gluten-free experience. We design and manage the trip from the point of view of someone with Coeliac disease, putting your comfort and safety first.

Our aim is to make your trip a wonderful experience, without needing to worry or always having to think about the food, at competitive prices.

Since the 1st of December 2010, when Destinos Sin Gluten was created at its original headquarters in Consuegra (Toledo, Spain), many things have changed:
