Yes it's the same voltage over here now. You will need 3 pin to 2 pin adaptors

Very helpful member
Gary is right, you could use an adapter....there will be a risk of fire if you use them on all your goods. I would recommend you by plugs and change them over. Easy peasy.
Thanks x
Most people use adaptors when they first move over but then I would recommend you change the plugs on your appliances and buy them from a Ferreteria rather than cheap ones from a Chinese shop to get better quality and peace of mind.

Remember if Spain is like France live wire goes on the left and not the right
Thanks for your advice x

If you're doing anything yourself with electrics in Spain, get a meter and check everything. Don't rely on what should be done, invariably it isn't. Double pole switching is an advantage over here though.
