A blog for people who are thinking of learning Spanish in Spain or Latin America

Plugs and sockets

December 5th, 2005 Posted in Miscellaneous

Perhaps one of the most difficult things about travelling, in general, including learning Spanish abroad, is to know whether your electrical appliances are going to work abroad or not. First you have to know whether your appliance works at 110 or 220 volts, whether the plug will fit into the sockets of the country you are visiting, etc.

Because this is such a complicated subject, and so many different countries are involved in the field of learning Spanish abroad, just take a look at the best page I’ve found on this subject - I think it covers just about everything:
Electricity around the world

The only thing it doesn’t tell you is where you can buy an adaptor if you need one during your learning Spanish abroad trip. In my experience, the best place is your departure airport - you can usually find what is called a “universal adaptor”. You’ll only need one particular part of the adaptor for the trip you’re beginning, but you’ll have an adaptor for all future journeys.

Happy Spanish learning!
