Electric converter???????

I am from the USA and have a question regarding electrical currency. My phone and camera charger state "100-240 VAC". I have an electrical adapter plug for Spain, but wonder if I have to schlep a heavy converter along too. I get a different answer from anyone I ask- Any American pilgrims who have been and can inform me "with first-hand info" as to the need for a converter?
:?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Just make sure that you don't have 110V only equipment and you'll be fine with just an adapter.
 
Like said above...If equipment is marked 115v - 240 v it will work in Europe. You will only need the adaptor plug that converts your U.S. blade type plug to the European round type.

Much easier than a few years ago.
 
The ultra small 110 -240 USB converter which comes with an Amazon Kindle has worked for my phone, camera, etc all over the world. Looks like a plug, weighs less than many plug adapters.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
