Any techies out there who have an idea where I might find one?
I have a dual usb European plug. Very light, cheap and flexible. Got mine from AmazonHi Folks,
I've been trawling online for hours without success. Maybe someone can help?
I'm looking for a phone charger for my Samsung s22 Ultra, but the european plug version.
Ideally with dual power outlets.
Why a Euro plug? It just saves carrying adapters for my Oz charger.
Why 2 outputs? I have 4 things to charge. The phone daily, powerbank daily, and every 3-4 days, a wireless video mic Rx & Tx.
Could be either USB C outputs or USB A.
I think most these days would be USB C.
Any techies out there who have an idea where I might find one?
Samsung OEM preferred, but any reputable brand should be OK.
Any thoughts on where to find one most appreciated.

I know you are walking the VDLP in 2023. If you don't want to stress if you have a couple of days in Sevilla why not go into a FNAC they have everything and the staff in the stores I have been in are really helpful.Hi Folks,

You want a universal travel charge that has swappable mains connector.Hi Folks,

Many thanksI had some luck with a Google search using
euro type-c charger -adapter
It brought up several products that are on Amazon. You'll have to check for them at its Oz site though.
I took a screenshot to show what terms you might try searching for if you don't like these products. You can see I asked that the search exclude the term adapter. It used it anyway but, while the product description says they are adapters, you can see they are not.
The plug type you are looking for is called a Type C or sometimes Euro. That makes searching for a charger miserable because of confusion with USB-C. That's why I added the term euro to my search.
Also, before I forget, you could try calling some shops at the airport to see if they have something for you and others headed to Europe. But buying one there may cost more than your flights.
If you need more help just ask.

That looks like a good option, thanks. Though 128 gms....I am using several pieces of this one:
AliExpress
Fast charging and reliable...
Don't forget to select the EU format if you order it...
Buen Camino,
Jacques-D.
I know you are walking the VDLP in 2023. If you don't want to stress if you have a couple of days in Sevilla why not go into a FNAC they have everything and the staff in the stores I have been in are really helpful.

e.g.
I definitely agree with you. Sevilla is a beautiful city and before and after I walked the VDLP last year I loved just walking the streets. A couple of years ago I lost my charger and went to FNAC and just bought a European charger that was a rapid recharge. I was in and out of FNAC in less than 15 minutes. I obviously only use this charger on the Camino but it does work great and it was a very reasonable price.Yes, always an option. I might go and have a look there.
I might just take my single output....and see what they have.
Though I have plenty of time before going, so would rather have all my gear with me.
Don't want to waste sight seeing or eating time going shopping!
I use thin band of duck tape to attach my very small european adapter plug to my american USB charger before landing Madrid. Haven't lost an adapter in 10 years@Robo, l now have a small collection of these. One approach is the travel adaptor with several USB ports. My wife recently bought one with a USB-C port, but is travelling, so I cannot give you details, but she did get it from Amazon, and it was delivered within a couple of days. It claims to meet the common standards certification body standards, including having flat prongs compliant with the current Australian electrical safety standards. It has three USB-A and a USB-C output.
My other approach is to have a power supply with Type C prongs. Currently I have one from Schneider, but there are many of these. I bought this a couple of trips ago to give me both a high power option for fast charging, and a USB-C port.
I am less enamored with adaptors where one has to physically swap out the plug with the different prong types. In the past I have found it too easy to misplace the plugs that aren't currently in use on the device. If you are good at keeping track of small parts like this, it might be a good option for you. It isn't for me
Good luck with your search.
ps, the Schneider two port (USB-C 20W, USB-A) weights 58 gm. The no-name four USB-A (3.4A max, 2.4A max for each individual port) weighs 126 gm.
That's a great approach if the USB charger is all you have to deal with. My CPAP power supply has different plugs that click in and out of the body of the power supply. Depending on where I am travelling, I need to connect to Types A, C, G and I, and possibly E and F, sockets. When I am on the Camino, I could minimise this to carrying Types C and G plugs, the latter so I can visit my son in England afterwards and assuming I am not going to have an overnight stop somewhere along the way home. Where I have had similar arrangements with phone chargers in the past, sooner or later one of the detachable plugs decides to extend its stay somewhere or other, clearly without my permission!I use thin band of duck tape to attach my very small european adapter plug to my american USB charger before landing Madrid.

I tried the airport in Santiago this afternoon (departing) and they only had the single one (I'm after a double too)I had some luck with a Google search using

Just buy one when you get there, you will easily find one in any department store or phone/electronics shop or bodega where you get your sim. Much easier to do in Spain.Hi Folks,

I bought this for our our current walk on the Chemin d’Arles. It supports fast charging protocols has 2 usb C and 1 A. The built in foldable plug is US but the included euro Adaptor is very clever and compact and stable. It’s from a brand I’ve never heard of and I bought it from the online retailer that shall not be named but it has worked great. Buen Camino.Hi Folks,

Jaycar has a 'Dual USB Mains Travel Charger'. The different plug configurations snap on and off, so you can just take the one you need. I've used it when travelling, works well.Hi Folks,
