Need to get a tow-bar fitted to hang my bike carrier on.

Is this a main-dealer type job in Spain, or are there specialist fitters a lá UK ?

Recommendations ?

Cheers 'n' Beers

Don't know but I think it forms part of the ITV test.

Could be wrong though

It must be supplied and fitted by an approved vendor, and the details added to the fischa tecnica ("log book) for the car. The fitting company should do the paperwork but make sure you know the total cost including this. It will be checked as part of the ITV.

Ensure that the company that fits your towbar is responsible for having the car's paperwork updated and for obtaining the revised ITV.

This paperwork can be a tangled process.
