We just bought a pack of 20 or so adapters cheap on Ebay - did the job nicely

Chopped plugs off & put Spanish ones on.

Everything was fine here, apart from our table lamps at the time! All our lamps in the UK had bayonet fittings and all the bulbs here seemed to have screw fittings. Still got a few lamps now that we cant use

We replaced all the UK plugs with Spanish ones except for the computer equipment. We put a Spanish plug on an English 6-way adapter with a built-in surge protector.

Yes that is what I did too

we had a lot of lamps with bayonet fittings which you can't buy here. But you can buy adaptors to switch your uk lamps from bayonet to screw and they work fine. All the other plugs we swapped for Spanish.

Try the big Chinese shop( the one at the bottom of the town) or just change the bulb holder. Things like camera and phone chargers, (where the charger plugs in directly to the socket) get a multi socket 3 pin extension and change the plug at the end that goes into the wall
