Take a hair dryer or buy one?
 

I will be in Spain for a month. Trying to decide whether to take my travel hairdryer (already have converter/adapter) or just buy one when I get there?

I am not sure about Spain, but my hairdryer/flatiron did not work in Paris, Belgium, or Germany WITH my adapter. I would buy one.

It depends if you have room in your luggage for the hair dryer. Last time I went to Europe, I purchased a hair dryer and it turned out to be a good choice.

I'm trying to keep to a carry-on, so I think I'll buy one. Thanks for the help.

I think you made a good decision. If that was me, I would also buy one. :)

Depending on where you will be staying, you may find hairdryers provided. If they are not, then buy locally.

I bought a continental hairdryer seven or eight years ago, but no longer take it since my hotels always have them (if not in every room, then a loaner from the front desk).

Most hotels, apartments and B&Bs provide hairdryers either in the room or loaners.

If you are unlucky and the places you stay don't have hairdryers -- buy one.

I will be staying with a family--BUT, I pretty much solved the problem by getting a very short haircut.

Nice solution TrvlMaven! :) Less liquids and/or other products to pack and less time spent dinking with hair when you can be out and about.

Hopefully you like the new 'do!

Most 110 / 220 hair dryers mean that only high works with 220 volts.

On a recent trip to Spain, we didn't take a hair dryer, assuming hotels all had them.

We were staying in Donostai and the hotel room did not have a hair dryer, but the hotel loaned us one for our dinner at Arzak.

Very nice. The dinner cost the equivalent of 3 nights stay.
