I'm in Barcelona. There are many vegetarian and vegan restaurants, yes. But when I go out for dinner with my Spanish friends they wouldn't pick those places. They'd always go for traditional places. Which means you end up with exactly the kind of thing you mention "Uhhh yeah we might have a salad for you" :D I'm not strictly vegetarian so it's not so much a problem but I had a colleague who used to come with us for lunch who got fed up with that. But as a tourist you'l be fine yeah. I'm from the Netherlands myself and the supermarkets there have a huge range of vegetarian and vegan foods. Here it's usually a corner of one of the fridges.
