    Default Spain plug adapter

    Going to spain in 2 weeks time, and do need to take a few things with me..
    I hear the voltage in Spain is 220v , and i need an adapter to make my things work.. I was going to buy this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Travel-adaptor-plug-adapter-convert-UK-to-Europe-Euro_W0QQitemZ250408472687QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_TravelTickets_Accessories_RL?hash=item250408472687&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318
    Is this sufficient? As i hear sometimes you also have to use some sort of a converter also?

    that will be fine, the 20v difference wont make any difference

    poundshop usually do 2 of em for a quid (uk to euro and uk to usa), but they sell out quick

    just a plug shape converter is fine, you don't need to have anything to alter the voltage or current

    The electricity in Spain is the same voltage as the electricity here, 230v, just a different plug socket.
