Help! Can anyone tell me where to get an adaptor for 3 pin to 2 pin? We've tried the usual places - Intermarche, Mestre Maco, Worten, fnac etc.

WE had to bring our with us, easly availble in UK have not seen any on our trips to algarve

But if your appliance only has live and neutral ( not earth ) you can rewwire it to a euro ( portuguese ) plug.

You can actually rewire any electrical appliance from the UK to the correct Portuguese plug and use it here (live, neutral and earth).

I have seen the UK to Portuguese adaptors in a shop on the road in to carvoeiro, near to the bank on the right as you past the road where the post office is.
