For health reasons, I need to be able to have a small electric kettle to boil water in wherever I go. Where can I buy one in Irun? I can’t bring mine from home, voltage is different.

Almost every town of any size will have one or more "Chino" stores usually called something like Asian Bazaar or China Bazaar, etc.. These stores have almost everything under the sun. You may have to ask the owner where to find an electric kettle or you could be lost for days in the aisles.Thank you. Is China Bazaar a store?
Depending on how much water you need to boil at a time the electric coil as an alternative to a kettle might be better.For health reasons, I need to be able to have a small electric kettle to boil water in wherever I go.

I have brought some of these on the Via Francigena and the Madrid Caminos in the last two years. We sometimes had our own apartment so chose to hang out a little longer in the mornings or there were no coffee options nearby. I was pleasantly surprised how much I actually enjoyed them, and that is saying a lot as I'm quite particular about my coffee.I buy the instant coffee con leche or capuccino mixes to get me started in case it is a long way to the first bar...
They aren't as good as the real thing, but they are better than the plain old instant coffee (Nescafe, etc.). In a pinch an instant coffee mixed with an instant hot chocolate is also good. I also have a stash of instant "cup o soup" in case I get stuck somewhere without services or just need something in the afternoon. Not a lot of calories, but better than nothing.I have brought some of these on the Via Francigena and the Madrid Caminos in the last two years.

I know..."There's nothin' like the real thing, baby!" I cannot drink any coffee without cream, so those substitutes worked for me.They aren't as good as the real thing, but they are better than the plain old instant coffee
Would a coil heater for a mug do? Available from Amazon for 220 0r 110 volts. Very small for the backpack and legal for the flight.For health reasons, I need to be able to have a small electric kettle to boil water in wherever I go. Where can I buy one in Irun?

I found what I am looking for on Amazon and it has a switch to convert to 220V. Just need adapter. View attachment 167570
We've used one of these for travels in Europe. Excellent piece of kit!I found what I am looking for on Amazon and it has a switch to convert to 220V. Just need adapter. View attachment 167570
