Considerations for Hong Kong

It is likely you will only find plugs-type "G" in Hong Kong. Plug types "D" and "M" are considered very old and they are not common. We keep the old-plugs in our database as we don't know your exact destination. As a rule of thumb, you will probably be fine with the type "G" in hotels.

... and in Canary Islands you will use: (includes Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza, Palmas, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona, Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Granada, San Sebastián.)

Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in Canary Islands without requiring a voltage adapter.

Overall a good adapter that has the earth connection pass-though (notice the metallic connector on the side.)
