I've spent a week in Spain, and here is my wisdom: Some electrical plugs are white, some are black. Most often you find them in the end of an electrical cord. (Do I need to put a smilie here?)

Thank you all for the responses, and yes, "cerveza" works fairly well in Mexico as well. :-). By the way, does anyone know what the electrical plugs look like? I'll need to bring the right adapter.

Beautiful moorish house, I had my own little room, and breakfast in the moorish patio, served by the owner, all included for 23 euros. Or for the adventurous, or at least young at heart: http://www.hospitalityclub.org It is a hospitality exchange community. I´ve stayed with locals in Sevilla, Granada, Barcelona, Prague, and now I´ll spend a few days with someone in Budapest. Excellent way to actually see a place, hang out with locals, eat at the not-touristy spots, and make friends on the way.
