The so-called Covid passport is being imposed as a safe conduct in Spain, there are many Autonomous Communities that request it as a requirement to access bars and restaurants.

Use the web or download an app
Both ways are equally valid since the verification of the Covid Certificate is carried out by establishing communication with the servers that the European authorities use to interconnect the different databases throughout Europe. Therefore, It does not matter what method you use to verify your Covid Certificate as long as it is authorized.
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to verify any Covid Certificate, regardless of the European country (and regardless of the autonomous community): you can use a mobile app or the web. The first is more reliable and efficient, with the second you don’t need to install anything. It’s up to you.
