Is there a Spain-based taxi app that works well for intercity travel, either in Madrid or Barcelona? I don't know if Uber works in those cities, and how popular/reliable they are there. Thanks again.
What do you mean "intercity"? Where exactly do you want to go?
Sorry. I meant just within a city. Madrid or Barcelona.
Cabify is the best taxi app for Madrid and Barcelona. Uber will also probably work, but Cabify will have more availability and lower prices.
FreeNow is another option specifically focused on the official taxis.
Cabify is my go to.
Great to hear both of your experiences, and will definitely check out both apps. Good to hear Cabify is your go to!
In Madrid Cabify is a clear option. Not sure if they are so implanted in Barcelona
Regular taxis are the best option in Barcelona, for several reasons. There are several apps among which the one recommended by the Taxi Authority: Picmi Taxi. But there are others: https://infotaxi.amb.cat/demanauntaxi/per-app
Still, if you make your way to any main street, chances are a taxi will come by within a few minutes. They’re easy to spot because all taxis in Barcelona are painted black and yellow—every single one! If you see one coming with the green light on top, just raise your hand and it’ll stop for you.
