Default Electrical Wall Connection

I want to connect an electric cable from an appliance to a wall power outlet, but not just the straightforward plug and socket type of connection but the type whereby the cable from the appliance does not have a fitted plug but the cable goes through a small hole into a flat wall socket and is wired directly inside giving a neater appearance.
Is this clear and if so what are they called and can someone provide a link perhaps so I can view options available?
I've tried Googling every option but all I get are normal sockets!
Thanks.

It's called a spur unit, I don't know if you can get them in Spain, I've never seen them on sale here.
They come either switched or unswitched.

They do, we have some.

Ours are used with water heaters primarily.
