Spanish words for sleeping mask and heating coil?

[Stephan the Painter]

Anybody know the Spanish for heating coil and sleep mask?

I’m in Burgos walking the Camino Frances. And alas, I burnt out my heating coil. Also I foolishly decided not to bring my sleep mask. Those Albergue emergency exit lights are bright at night!

I have a rest day in Burgos tomorrow and hope to buy these two items.

My Google Translate app suggests a heating coil is: Bobina de calentamiento.

And sleep mask: Máscara para dormir.

But often these kind of direct translations make no sense to a native speaker….?

For the sleep mask: antifaz para dormir
For the heating coil: resistencia eléctrica para calentar agua

Máscara para dormir should be understood. If you told me bobina de calentamiento I would have no idea what you're talking about

Thank you!

And of course the question I should also ask is what kind of stores would carry these things?

Maybe a kitchen supply store for the heating coil? And maybe a pharmacy for the sleep mask?

I would check electrical supply or DIY stores for the heating coil if you can't find it in a kitchen supply store.

For the sleeping mask, look for a "flying tiger", "ale hop" or "Claire's" store. I'm sure they'll have them in Burgos. You may also find it in "perfumerías" and sometimes even in clothes stores like H&M.

Definitely an AleHop in Burgos...

I'm in Burgos and can confirm there is a large AleHop store, walked past it today. I saw a Claire's too.

I'd also like to know which kind of store to find an electric coil, as mine was left at home by mistake, and I do miss it. @Stephan the Painter maybe I will run into you while scouring the shops of Burgos for this item.

PS. Thanks @MariaSP for answering the question about types of stores.

A ferretería (hardware store) should have a coil. You can also check one of the Asian Bazaar type stores.

The heating coils are being sold on the Spanish Amazon site as “ Hervidor de inmersión de viaje. “

“Hervidor de agua electrico” seems to be the name for a countertop plug-in kettle. I tried one store but none of the kitchen supply stores or hardware stores are open until tomorrow.

‘Travel immersion heater’ seems closer to the target than ‘electrical water heater’.

I suspect you’ll be lucky to find one - but hope you do.

Many years ago those small heating coils were easy to find but nowadays not so. After fruitless searches in many countries in hardware, appliance and similar shops the best or maybe only resource is ordering online. The ones available in those Chinese shops tend to be of the large bucket variety and bulky & heavy to travel with.

It's possible to order from Amazon.es and pick up the package from an Amazon locker. I saw the lockers in several different places last year including a train station and a lavandería.

I love Decathlon for a lot of things, but they don't have electric coils for heating water. They do have a sleep mask though:

I did find a heating coil in Burgos. I found the store listed under “kitchen supply” in google maps. They sold a wide range of small kitchen items as well as stove parts and camping stoves. Repairs also. Near the center: No name on the storefront but google called it:
“Service”
C. Antonio Machado, 2, 09005 Burgos

The heating coil was about twice the size of the mini one I had ordered in the states. I bought it, and it was €13.

It said “ calentador de vaso” on the package.

I tried several hardware stores or “Ferreterias,” but I don’t think it’s a common item.

The best thing you can do is bring one along and don’t burn it out like I did, or try to order one from Amazon and have it shipped to one of these Amazon lockers as was suggested above. Although I was never able to sign into the Spanish Amazon website when I tried in the past.

The sleep masks (espanol: antifaz para dormir) were easy to find. I bought one at the “flying tiger Copenhagen” store near the center.
