Hi pilgrims!

I'm currently walking camino and i will be arriving Ponferrada in 2 days. I see that Ponferrada is a big city (relatively). Is ther a store where I can buy a power adapter? I left mine in an albergue a few days ago...

Thank you in advance!

I am wondering if you actually mean a "plug" adaptor. One that converts the 2 blade U.S. plug to the European 2 round plug??

There are not many electronic devices left that are not dual voltage and can be used on both 115 and 220 volt. What are you using?

Yes, that's exactly what i want. 2 blade us plug to the european 2 round plug.

I'm using an ipad and iphone, and a camera battery charger.

Thanks!

Hi!

If there are any Spanish pilgrims around in the albergue I'm sure they'll help you to seek one out. Ponferrada is a significant town so it will just be a case of asking around.

There's also an outdoor shop on the street running up along the right hand side of the castle, which might be able to help even if they don't have one themselves.

Buen Camino!

Try a Chinese store (Chino); I got one there after two ferreteria did not have one.

If you have no Spanish take the thing with you, it will save a lot of time and ridiculous pantomime.

(S)he has lost the thing. I think that's the problem. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though. Buen Camino!

I had to buy an adaptor in Ponferrada after leaving mine in Hospital de Orbigo!
There was a little shop that sold all sorts of electrical items on Gil y Carrasco, past the tourist information on the left side walking towards Plaza Ayuntamiento. You don't even have to leave the camino!
Buen Camino
