My old dear has just got a place in Spain to rent out to holiday makers. Can anyone advise on where I can download Spanish regs (for free) as she wants British socket outlets next to the Spanish ones in bedrooms and livingroom for people with iPods hairdryers straighteners etc
Or does anyone know if its just an outright no. I've seen it before when I lived in Spain (before I trained as an electrician) but not sure if it was kosher!
I'm going on Thursday,but might pop up Friday as well.phil. what day we going to elex? friday is best for me.

for me selling adaptors would be the way to go,putting in any form of foreign socket is bound to lead to some doughnut plugging in something that runs off a different voltage then saying they thought the sockets were 110v or something daft.
Maplins are just robbers,A phono plug in maplin is about a quid,they are about a quid for 10 at cpc.lolThese are probably the best style to go for....
Schuko to UK Mains Adapter 13A | Maplin
Though where they get costing over 6 quid each for them i don't know.... I know for a fact they cost around 1.50 / 160 Euros each in Cyprus, so someones making a real mark, if that's the general cost of these adaptors in the UK!!!

To be honest if it was my property, and i was catering for British holidaymakers, i would just install the supplementary BS1363 sockets, kosher or no kosher!! lol!! Provided of course that all such circuits criteria were suitable for the inclusion of the supplementary BS outlets...
You cannot and i repeat cannot install Uk sockets.
I believe your just the man for Spanish installs. I'll take that on board Mayfair. Do you know where I can get a copy/download Spanish regs?
I'm nowhere near fluent but can tell bits and bobs. I get what you mean tho, it must be a real headache for expat sparks!I believe your just the man for Spanish installs. I'll take that on board Mayfair. Do you know where I can get a copy/download Spanish regs?
Knowing how unintelligible our regs are at times, imagine the potential unreadability of the Spanish version, written in Spanish?!
Unless you're fluent in Spanish of course.
I'll look into earthed "Schukos" with DP switches but Sintra might be onto something with the buying in bulk & selling idea. Least then she'd be covered should something go wrong!

Fair enough eng. I don't think Spain has an earthing system do they? Will have to slap a few rods in and TT it
