Actully, Hooameye, that's the one whose info I'm trying to clarify. Thanks, though.

Yeah, that's the problem, kerouac. I want to be sure I have the right ones for Spain. Thanks!

>the same adaptor will work throughout continental Europe but
The Europlug will work in all of continental Europe but is only rated up to 600 Watts. This will cover most of your appliances. Europlugs are compatible with other national sockets such as "Schuko". The Europlug achives this through its special design. The round pins are NOT parallel but work like a vice, getting closer at the end. Yet, they are highly flexible. That way, they fit into sockets with different specifications. Whoever invented that design was a genius.

Thanks, spassvogel and logos!

Don't you mean "like a <i>vise</i>", logos? Or are you into a little hanky panky? :-D

Yup, all those "s"'s and "c"'s are sooo confusing.
I don't mean those 2 gay guys from Miami :D

I have two euro adapters--one with just the two round pins and a second that is grounded--two round pins and a receptacle for the grounding pin which now is present in the wall sockets in most French hotels--the first adapter is tiny and was cheap; the second cost $7.00 from Walkabout Travel Gear, but I was glad I had it.

That's a relief! :-))

Never forget that the UK uses weird plugs, totally different from the continent.
