In Spain, app-based bike and/or e-scooter rental is well-established and genuinely easy to use as a tourist, typically with just a foreign credit card.
Most apps require a credit card and sometimes a local phone number for SMS verification — search the App Store/Play Store for "[city name] bike share" or "[city name] scooter" shortly before your trip, since operators change too fast for any static list to stay current.
Bike-share and e-scooter programs change fast — operators enter and exit cities, and local regulations on e-scooters specifically shift often. This reflects the general landscape, not a live status check — search for what's currently operating in your specific city before you rely on one.
