You'll need electrical adapters in Europe.

US Candada and Mexico have similar electric conditions. listen to tom I would go to bestbuy or some other store and look up for international adapters all over europe the have different outlets. and you might need different ones. if you are only going to spain you must carry only the spanish one.

It works in Mexico because the voltage and plugs are the same in Mexico. Seriously? You didn't buy one that was dual voltage? No. If you don't get a Voltage converter (which is sold by wattage...check the wattage before you go to a luggage store to buy one, and usually comes with a bunch of plug adapters) then your appliance will either blow up, or get so hot it will burn your hair, possibly starting a fire.

You will need a 50 cycle converter since most everything in the US is made for 60 cycles. Also, most wall socket plugs have round prongs instead of the blade style we have here. Almost all of Europe is 50 cycle AC.
5 :
yes. you need an adapter which you can easily get here anyway. the local shops wherever you are, have them.
