Question

In what hotel should we stay?

Answer

We will be staying at the Hilton Diagonal Mar, booking directly through the Hilton website. We were going to book a block of rooms, but they would have been more expensive than through the website. You are welcome to stay wherever you would like and transit (subway, tram, taxi) to the Hilton Diagonal Mar for shuttle pickup to the wedding.

Question

Will I need an adapter to plug in electronics in Spain?

Answer

American appliances run on 110 volts, while European appliances are 220 volts. You will need a converter to use your US-plug devices into the European wall sockets. We use something like this - https://tinyurl.com/3pj4293u Ladies, check your hair care devices (curling/flat irons, hair dryers) to see if they are dual voltage 110/220.
