They are regulars in markets like <strong>Palo Alto<\/strong> and this summer they\u2019ve been in the beautiful space of the University of Barcelona gardens. Although there\u2019s not a specific law to cover them yet, they are considered by the administration as a complementary activity only allowed in specific cases, like fairs and events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s something that will have to be regulated soon, as they are getting so big that local bars and restoration businesses are complaining.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Barcelona, there have always been <strong>vans that serve food<\/strong> for special fairs in certain places, but they were basically offering <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">churros<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and chips or fast food with no special care in quality (burgers, hot dogs or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/the-best-bocadillos-in-el-gotico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bocadillos<\/a><\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). They were the typical option for concerts or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">festes majors <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(holidays in towns or neighbourhoods). What\u2019s new with the <strong>food trucks<\/strong> then? To start with, most of them use <strong>vintage vans<\/strong>, customizing them and paying attention to the presentation. <\/span>Furthermore, they specialize in a certain kind of food or product and consider quality (sometimes using organic or ecological products). And you can book them for events!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/palo-alto-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palo Alto Market<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_popular_vans\"><\/span>Most popular vans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.foodtruckya.com\/\">Foodtruckya<\/span><\/strong> is one of the websites for the <strong>food trucks<\/strong> in Spain where you can check lots of food trucks and their locations, their stories, what they offer and where to find them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-58182 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/foodtrucks-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"foodtrucks\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>According to votes from users, la <\/span><b>Creperie de Mari\u00f6ne<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the most popular.
