Tourists dining in Spain. How do they see us?
VEGANS IN SPAIN.
Pre-reading questions.
Do you know any vegans?
What's the difference about being vegan and vegetarian?
 Sisters Georgina and Gabbie Jarvis, from Leeds in northern England, were holidaying in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol last week and they decided to visit an establishment that promised to ‘cater to vegans’. They felt cheerful after spotting a vegetarian pizza on the menu but they got frustrated when the chef explained it contained egg. However, he promised to offer a vegan alternative . Her sister posted a photograph of the salad plate consisting of roughly chopped raw tomatoes and red onions – which came with a price tag of €7.

- Did Georgina and Gabbie manage to eat vegan ? What was the problem then? Why do they describe the experience as disappointing?
