15 Useful Things To Buy From Amazon Before Visiting Spain

Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag or Hidden Pouch

Spain is generally safe, but pickpocketing can be a real issue in touristy areas like Las Ramblas in Barcelona or Plaza Mayor in Madrid.

A secure crossbody bag or hidden money belt keeps your passport, phone, and cards safe from wandering hands. This is one of the most important Amazon essentials for Spain.

I love this Travelon Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag

Spanish Phrasebook or Pocket Translator

English is widely spoken in major cities, but having a phrasebook or translator helps immensely in smaller towns, tapas bars, or while using public transport.

This is one of the essential Spain travel accessories Amazon shoppers love.

This offline translator is perfect for the job.

Comfortable Walking Shoes

Spain’s cobblestone streets and long sightseeing days call for high-quality, breathable shoes. Stylish but supportive sneakers or sandals are a must.

Essential travel gear for Spain that you’ll be grateful for by day three.

These Dr. Scholl’s Women’s Sneakers are wonderfully comfortable.

European Power Adapter (Type C or F)

Spain uses 230V plugs (Type C and F). A universal adapter with USB charging ports will keep your devices ready to go. Definitely one of the best Amazon items for Spain that many travelers forget.

This travel adapter will work perfectly

Lightweight Scarf or Shawl

I love a lightweight shawl they make useful for covering shoulders when entering churches or monasteries and adding flair to your outfit. It also comes in handy on breezy evenings or long train rides.

This shawl comes in all kinds of colours and wont take up much rrom in the case

Daypack or Packable Tote Bag

I always take a packable tote they are perfect for day trips, shopping, or carrying water, sunscreen, and souvenirs. Look for one with anti-theft features for added peace of mind.

This tote is great if you have more to carry and is waterproof.

Travel-Size Sunscreen

Spain gets a lot of sun, even in spring and fall. Protect your skin while sightseeing or lounging on the beach with a sunscreen you can just pop into your bag.

I find this sunscreen works well and doesn’t irritate my skin.

Reusable Water Bottle

Tap water in Spain is clean and safe to drink. Save money and reduce plastic waste by bringing a refillable water bottle. A water bottle is one of my top Amazon must-haves for Spain travel.

I find this water bottle keeps the water nice and cold.

Travel Umbrella or Lightweight Rain Jacket

If you’re visiting northern Spain (San Sebastián, Bilbao, or Galicia), rain is common. Be prepared with packable rain gear or a travel umberella.

In fact wherever you are going there is always a chance it could rain.

I love this travel umbrella its so small and comes in a protective case so you bag wont get wet.

Travel-Size First Aid Kit

I sometimes think I am becoming a broken record but you always need a first aid kit. Some of the over the counter medicines aboard will not be what you are use to so bet to bring your own.

Make sure it include essentials like plasters, ibuprofen, motion sickness tablets, and hand sanitizer. A compact kit is easy to pack and brings peace of mind.

This first aid kit has everything you could need.

Compact Luggage Scale

if you are flying between the Spanish island or getting a connecting flight from another European destination you might need one of these.

Most of those inter island flights will be on budget airlines and in Europe often have strict weight limits. A compact luggage scale saves you from overweight baggage fees.

These luggage scales will work perfectly.

Portable Charger

Your phone will run our of charge. You will be using your phone for maps, photos, and Google Translate, keep it charged on the go with a lightweight battery backup.

These portable charger is very popular and has great reviews.

This summer dress is super cute, packs well and can be dressed up or down.

Spain’s cities are full of life, even late at night. A mask and earplugs can help you sleep better, especially in urban hotels. You also might be surprised how early the sun rises here.
