Checking plug and voltage compatibility
Power adapter compatibility check for traveling from United Kingdom to Spain
You'll need a plug adapter (G to C/F). β Voltage is compatible (230V β 230V)
United Kingdom
230V
Spain
230V
No. Your Type G plugs from United Kingdom will not fit Spain's sockets. You'll need a travel adapter.
The voltage in Spain is 230V. This matches United Kingdom's 230V, so your devices will work perfectly.
No, you don't need a voltage converter. The voltage difference (230V to 230V) is safe for most modern devices, especially laptops, phones, and chargers which typically support 100-240V dual voltage.
Spain uses Type C, F sockets. You will see these socket types in hotels, airports, and public places throughout the country.
Yes, most modern electronics (iPhones, laptops, tablets, cameras) are dual-voltage (110V-240V), so they will work in Spain. Since Spain uses 230V (within the 100-240V range), your device will work fine. You'll need a plug adapter to fit the wall socket.
You can buy a Type C travel adapter online (Amazon, eBay) or at the airport. Look for adapters specifically designed for Spain or universal adapters that include Type C. Check our Amazon link above for the best options.
If you don't use an adapter, your plug physically won't fit into Spain's sockets. Additionally, if the voltage is different (230V vs 230V) and your device isn't dual-voltage, you could permanently damage your device or cause a fire hazard. Always use the appropriate adapter and check voltage compatibility.
