Canary Islands Travel Adapters
Type C and Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz
The Canary Islands are an autonomous community of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. The archipelago consists of several volcanic islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura. Known for their warm climate, beaches, and dramatic volcanic landscapes, the islands are a popular destination for travelers from across Europe. The two main capitals are Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The Canary Islands use mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use. Type F adapters are also known as Schuko style.
