Hello All,
I have frequently read comments by others about the usefulness of an electric heating coil to be used for boiling water along the way. I am considering purchasing one of these for our upcoming Camino. Where can I buy one (I live in Barcelona)? Thanks for any ideas.

No clearly not, it has both 110 and 220 or whatever those numbers are. I used it for at least 8 years. Try ferretería julio online if it still exists.Thanks for your reply, Laurie. I am wondering if yours died as a result of using an electrical adapter rather than a converter? I'll keep looking to see if I can find one with Euro specs. I see them listed on Amazon Spain but will see if I can find one in a shop or a second hand on-line site.

Ah yes, the cardinal rule of the electric coil. It must be immersed in water whenever you either plug it in or unplug it. I learned that rule years ago from @mspath and it is important, especially since it is not totally intuitive.I have used one and found it very helpful, while traveling and while staying in snooty hotels who want you to buy their $9.00 cup of coffee rather than be able to make that first eye opening cup of the day in your room. Unfortunately I neglected on one occasion not to heed the warning not to have it plugged in unless the coil was submerged in water. That was it for that coil!
