Yes, Bolt is used in Barcelona.It's worth checking both apps to compare prices. I usually find that Uber is cheaper, but Bolt has offers on more frequently, so you can save money that way. Bolt's in Barcelona usually arrive fairly quickly, so it's a great alternative to Uber.
Uber in Spain operates in exactly the same way that it does in every country. Therefore, if you already have the app downloaded and an active account – away you go. However, if you haven't used the platform yet you will need to download the app from your app store (find it for Android here and Apple here).

Cabify – the best Uber alternative in SpainIt operates much like Uber, with a similar interface and pick-up system that displays the upfront cost prior to booking.

Try to avoid anything that may be classified as sporty. Especially sport running shoes or too inappropriate ones. Avoid shorts, too many face piercings or tattoos. Aim for classy and elegant.
