Going to Spain next week, Do i need to convert my plugs?

Question

My friend said i needed to convert them on my hair drier and stuff like that because they are only 2 pinned as opposed to 3 pinned. How do I go about converting them?

Answer 1

Plug converters.  If you don't manage to get around to buying them before you leave, you can pick them up for about 3€ in any Ferretería (hardware store) in Spain...there's one on about every block.  Just ask for an English - Spanish one.  If you buy them at Boots, you might wind up with the kind they use in the rest of Europe, that WON'T fit Spanish outlets.  MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ONES FOR SPAIN.  (the plastic part is smaller, and the outlets in Spain are deeper, and the European ones don't fit).

Answer 2

Buy an European adaptor.

Most of the hotels can provide you with one as well.

Answer 3

Spanish plugs are like German ones.  Buy a continental adapter before you go.  (They're about £3 in Tescos and about £10 in the Airport)

Answer 4

Buy a european plug adaptor.

Costs about £5

Answer 5

YES!!! best buy usually has it, but sometimes it doesnt, if not try radio shock, and haqir dryers you need a converter, don't get a little one that just changes the plugs you need a full on converter, they have those at   apple too. because a hardryer will blow up in the others.

Answer 6

I assume you are from the UK since you say the plug is 3 pinned. Just go to Tesco, Boots, Curry's, and get an adaptor. It will adapt your plus to be 2 pinned. Just make sure to get one for Europe, if you go to Curry's and tell them where you are traveling they will make sure you get the correct one.

Answer 7

Travel section in any supermarket or Boots - just buy a convertor!

Answer 8

Depends if your from a European country, some stuff in Spain is also 3pinned like computers or electronics.

If your from the USA you'll need a converter for sure, they sell them at Radio shack or even on the plane.

Answer 9

plug adapter for about two quid

Answer 10

Apart from that, be careful because if come to Spain from the US, you need a converter from 110V to 220V. In Spain is 220V
