    take a 2 pin adapter which you can just plug in ur usual stuff. you can get them anywhere, ASDA TESCO etc

    u need the european 2 pins adaptors, and in spain try to smile always

    Spain has European 2 pin sockets, you’ll be able to find adaptors at the airport if you don’t already have them.

    One bit of travel advice I’d give is to try and adapct to local customs and eat when the locals do – lunch is often between 2 and 5 p.m. and dinner at around 10 p.m.

    Otherwise, watch out for bag snatchers on the Ramblas/airport/train stations and have a great time!

    agree with everything above, plus…

    barcelona – try and see the magic fountain show, and if you like architecture, see the sagrada familia (everyone does), and see the barcelona pavilion (no-one does). the interesting thing about them is that the sagrada familia was started in 1882, whereas the barcelona pavilion started only 46 years years later, in 1928.
    and wander around the bari gotic – it’s a bit like the lanes in brighton, except good!
    walk to the beach. stay away from the port, its a rip off.

    valencia – you must eat paella in valencia – its the best in spain.
    take the tube to the fantastic enormous flat beaches

    You need a PLUG adaptor, but your power is the same. Only the wall converter.

    There’s a website that tells you what they look like, or you could go to any store that sells luggage.

    eat local food in both Valencia and Barcelona. Avoid the McDonalds, KFC and Diry Doner Kebab crap. Help to preserve spanish tranditions and culture.

    they take the 2 pin adapter. I would just buy the smallest world adapter, then you never need to worry again. They are a bit more expensive but i think worth it if you travel to different countries alot.
