Packing Lists: Spanish use two pin plugs !
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Luggage And Bags: A fold up bag is useful to bring presents back. Either bring one or buy one here.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If going out of season consider taking a small umbrella. They are expensive to buy in Spain. Also a waterproof coat.


    Photo Equipment: Bring your camera as there are a lot of things that you will want to keep a memory of. Digital cameras are less bulky than the SLR and you won't need film!

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Either bring a beach towel or purchase one when you arrive; because hotel towels although fantastically clean, can be a little rough.

    Miscellaneous: Electrical:
    If you bring your alarm clock radio with you as I do, and it runs off the mains, don't forget to bring your converter plugs with you as Spanish plug sockets are TWO PIN ROUND !

    Voltage is the same as in England BUT where as our voltage is closer to 240v AC, Spanish voltage can go as low as 206v AC, especially at peak demand times. Your appliance will work o.k. but say, a kettle will take longer to boil.

    Mobile phones;
    Many people bring their mobile phones with them but DO remember that a call from the UK will cost YOU even to receive the call. If you are going for a long period, consider buying a Spanish mobile phone, two if you are going with company. Then you can keep in touch with each other when at different locations and CHEAPLY. If you bring your own phone, don't forget the charger lead and plug converter.
