From Antigua and Barbuda to Spain
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Spain: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Spain. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Spain
Spain runs on the standard continental European setup: 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Spain has one of Europe’s highest renewable shares. Wind, solar, and hydro together cover roughly half of generation, with nuclear and gas filling most of the rest. The April 2025 Iberian blackout was a rare exception caused by a grid balancing failure.
Availability
The grid is reliable nationwide with isolated exceptions. The Canary Islands and Balearics run on smaller local grids, but supply is steady.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard in homes and hotels, and Type C plugs slot into Type F sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Wind is the single largest source.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter covers the whole Iberian peninsula.
- On long bus or train journeys, USB ports are common at the seat.
