You will find the plugs (C and F) used in Spain here:

The local voltage is 230 V AC and the frequency 50 Hz according to this web page.


You may be able to use an existing power adapter (charger) via an appropriate passive plug adapter. Apple power adapters typically have an input voltage range 100-240 V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. Third-party power adapters may be more limited. Look for a text/label (a magnifying glass may help) with voltage and frequency data. It is good practice to check this before connecting anything to the mains in a foreign country.

Will you be using an Apple "charger"?


If yes, all you will need is a Type F wall adapter. Amazon has them:

You will probably need 4-5 adapters to handle a few iPhones, a laptop, the razor, hairdryer, toothbrush, etc. Make sure that the devices will operate on 100-240 Volts.
