What type adapter plug is necessary for using a hairdryer in Spain? Also what if any food should be avoided?<BR>Thanks!!

Is your hairdryer 110/220v? If so, you need a 2-prong plug - you can purchase at any luggage store or Radio Shack.<BR><BR>If your hairdryer is only 110v, you will need to buy a transformer. Again, at any luggage store or Radio Shack. You would be better off buying a new hairdryer that is both 110/220v - probably cost you less than the cost of a transformer, but you still would need the plug adaptor.<BR><BR>I would avoid any type of shell fish as that is probably the most susceptable to having bacteria.<BR><BR>Drink lots of wine and have a great time!!!

I agree with the notion of carrying only dual-voltage appliances..makes things so much easier, no transformers to worry about, and all you need is the adaptor plug for the particular are you're in. Spain, as I recall, uses the &quot;usual&quot; two (round) prong plug found in most other Western European nations (except Britain).

i'd avoid blood pudding.

Oh, now I get it. I read this post title twice and had to check out what kind of special appliances people with small hair needed.

If you check with your hotels you'll find that most have hairdryers in the rooms now. We are traveling thru Spain this summer and all of our 2 and 3 star hotels have them in the bathrooms already.
