Spain uses Type C and F sockets at 230V. Here's which adapter to pack, whether you need a converter, and how to charge everything from one socket.
You need a European adapter with two round pins (Type C or F). Spain uses 230V, the same as the UK, so you won't need a voltage converter.
Type C and Type F
230V, 50Hz
Spain uses Type C and Type F sockets, the standard European two-round-pin design. The Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands use the same sockets as mainland Spain.
A standard European travel adapter with two round pins will fit.
No. Spain runs on 230V at 50Hz, the same as the UK, so phone chargers, hair dryers and straighteners from the UK will work with just a plug adapter.
MyTravelPal Pro Universal Travel Adaptor
Works in Spain and almost everywhere else, with USB ports so you can charge several devices from one socket.
Expect few sockets by the bed. Many hotel and apartment rooms only have one or two, so an adapter with USB ports saves a lot of swapping.
Take one adapter per room, not per device. One adapter plus a USB charger with several ports is usually enough for a couple or family.
Pack a power bank for long days out. Maps, photos and boarding passes drain phones quickly.
