If the electricity goes off when you have a number of items on it maybe the wattage coming into your property, you can check this by looking at your last bill.

If you look under DATOS DEL CONTRATO

Potencia Contratada you will find the KW

We had a similar problem the electricity kept "tripping" & we discovered we only had 2.5KW, we now have 5.75KW & no problems.

Otherwise it might just be the recent bad weather, our electricity was off for 2hours on Thursday night.

The electricity sub station in calle murcia/Palma was replaced on Monday so hopefully that has solved the problem as our electricity no longer is cutting out

The electricity situation in Castallla and surroundings is precair. The network is basically overloaded. The 4 Town Halls in the valley are trying for years to get Iberdrola to build a new distribution center in the valley since its not only the households that suffer, but several industries need uninterrupted power. Some industrie actually didn't move to the valley due the lack of energy guarantees.

With bad weather (high winds, rains, thunderstorms) little is needed to create issues in the grid that are noticeable and wires touching in the wind create many short lived cuts. Its a killer for electronic household appliances like TV's, microwaves, (dishh-)washing machines etc. etc.

Live time of these devices is half as long here in Spain as they were in our home country...
