Quite a long wait for a ride to Perpignan for that much cars. Asking around is probably better here.

Very good spot. I always leave Montpellier from there. You can go to the west (Béziers, Narbonne, Toulouse, Perpignan...) or the east and north (Nîmes, Marseilles, Lyon ...)This time I had a sign "Toulouse" and got a ride directly to Frouzins (south west of Toulouse). A guy solo with just one place. This day I hitchiked with a French girl going from Marseilles to Toulouse. We had to separate since the guy had just one place. If you read this message, I hope you got a lift and could manage to reach Toulouse on time ;)

I was there on a Friday, there weren’t so many tourists. I had to ask around a lot and nobody wanted to take me. After that I took a sign saying “France” and stood at the entrance of the gas station, which eventually got me a hitch to Perpignan.

There's a space next to the road where people can stop safely and it's on a straight road so the cars have plenty of time to spot you and think about it.

I got to France easily. Not so Manny people passing by than in the main highway of Girona but a great possiblity to get to Perpignan.

Headed north. Not the best spot in the world, but far from the worst. Drivers slow down for the bend and have good enough time to see you and there's enough room to safely pull over on either side of the road. Majority of people going north take this route out of town.

Waited 4 hours, for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to get out of this town. By some miracle the coolest Dutch woman ever came by and stopped for us and drove us all the way to Perpignan, saving us from this hitchhiking hell they call Spain. We got very very lucky. Save your sanity and take a bus or rideshare with BlaBlaCar or fly out of the country. Hitchhiking Spain is a nightmare. If you want to make more than 50km a day and not wait 3+ hours every time, you gotta hit it lucky with a non-spaniard.

To go north: try standing before the green barrier right in front of the peage. Tried it twice, worked well to go to Perpignan/Montpellier each time

Lots of travelers to Spain. Just ask people at the petrol station. There were a bunch of other hitchhikers there but my friend and I found a ride first because we approached people and asked. The ride got us outside Perpignan

Not a ton of traffic going toward Perpignan but enough. There is a nice pull off and cars aren’t going too fast yet. Took my friend and I under 30min from here

Perfekt for longer rides down to spain! Not so great for Perpignan but you can surely find someone to drop you off at a motorway exit ;)

Spent there 30 minutes Friday midday March 2017, I arrived with another hitchhiker, he got a lift after 3 minutes to the border (there is a huge tax free shopping area). I saw a couple of german cars pass and I asked the first one and got a lift to Perpignan (he would have taken me further though). Seems like a good spot to find long rides.

The man took me to Perpignan-Sud and I catch a ride within a minute.
It was very lucky ride to the center of Barcelona.
