Guía Apagón is a personal project by Luis Antón, from Alovera (Guadalajara, Spain). It grew from a simple idea: the blackout of 28 April 2025 showed that almost nobody had a plan, and that what really helps in a flat is little, cheap and can be prepared in an afternoon.
This English edition is for anyone living in Spain who prefers to read in English: expats, students, and visitors staying for a while. Spanish emergency services, products and rules are the same; we just explain them in your language.
What you’ll find here
- Protocols, not theory. What to do in the first hours, after three days and if it lasts a month.
- Designed for a flat. No petrol generators or bunkers: what fits in a cupboard and can be used on a balcony.
- Printable lists. Because when there’s no power, your phone stops being useful.
- Honest comparisons. With the good and the bad of each product.
How we work
- We rely on official sources (Protección Civil, 112, health authorities, technical reports on the blackout) and turn them into concrete steps.
- We review the guides regularly and fix mistakes as soon as we spot them. If you find one, let us know.
- This site informs; it doesn’t replace emergency services. In real danger, call 112.
