Hi.To say I am no computer whiz would be putting it mildly hence the question i am about to ask.... Where is the @ key on a Spanish key board. Last time in Spain I gave up trying to send an e mail because i couldn't find it but i will need to access the airline website in order to print off my boarding pass and its worrying me already

Good question because I always forget as well in 4 times to Spain. Sometimes I find one on an email or something and "cut & paste". It only takes one or two times for me to remember anyway. You'll be fine. The French keyboards are the ones I really have trouble with. :wink:

Alt Gr and 2 simultaneously gets the @. It is a special key on the lower right or left.

On many machines in bars and internet cafes they have a little notice telling you how to get @ because it confuses so many people! I think you can also get it by Ctl, Alt and 2 simultaneously, but it gets a bit like playing a piano concerto! :shock: Buen Camino!

You're certainly NOT the only one.
When in Segovia,walking the Camino Madrid, and staying at the Youth Hostel, attempting to book a flight home on the ( free) internet there, I had the same problem - if you can't do the @, then nothing else is possible. After a great deal of sign language (the wardens spoke as little English as - at the time -I spoke Spanish), I managed to indicate the dilemma.
And then the printer wouldn't work....
But, hey, I got there (or here) in the end.

No. Whoever decided that @ is not easily accessible on a keyboard is the thick person. Buen Camino!

French keyboards. They have to be some kind of payback for Agincourt or Crecy or Waterloo.

On every keyboard, you will always get the @:
press and hold ALT
type 64
release ALT
