Taxis in Barcelona

Taxis

Taxis (93/387-1000; 93/490-2222; 93/357-7755 24 hours a day) are black and yellow and show a green rooftop light when available for hire. The meter starts at EUR 1.25 (EUR 1.50 at night) and rises in increments of centimos. There are supplements for luggage, night travel, Sundays and holidays, rides from a station or to the airport, and for trips to or from the bullring or a football match. There are cab stands all over town, and you can also hail cabs on the street. One of the prime taxi stands is at the head of the Rambla on Plaça Catalunya. Within a 200 yards of a taxi stand, cabdrivers generally refuse to respond to a hail, referring you to the line, and his, at the stand.
