We strongly recommend that you use the bus and metro (remember that the subway is called “metro” in Spanish) instead of taking a taxi. It may be a good idea to get a tourist card for several days (from 24 to 72 hours) to travel by bus, city, metro and tram and that includes trips to the airport.

Taxis can be booked from your phone, +34 96 357 13 13 (Tele Taxi) or +34 96 370 33 33 (Radio Taxi) or, if you have a data plan, use Mytaxi or Cabify (Uber-type service).
