Spanish translation kindly supplied by Virginia Gámez. Virginia also gives the following
advice:
"I
don't know if it happens in other countries but, in Spain, you must be aware
of "vegetal" sandwiches and that kind of food, as most of them always
include tuna, eggs or even ham! Most of the people don't know what a
vegetarian or vegan is, so they could presume you eat sea-food, ham,
tuna...Let them know what you don't want! * You can also ask for a salad and
they'll serve it with tuna most of the times!"
