We waited in front of the fence and where really lucky to find an old couple who tuck us all the way to perpignan!

Talked to people at the gas station, found someone going to Perpignan almost immediately.

We had to wait the next train coming in 50min so we decided to try hitchhiking ,and someone took us directly to Perpignan.

i was standing literally between two entrances of the toll, and with a sign to perpignan, in 5min, a car picked me up immediately they were going to spain, so im sure you can aim further a guy with hithhiking there just before me, he waited propably 10/15min, with out a sign, so i dunno where he was going great spot some cops pass by me and said nothing i was a bit paranoid

Asked the first French number plate I saw and they took me just above Perpignan where I got another lift within 5 mins to Toulouse. This location also has a 24h cafe so I slept in there overnight

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 only a little place for cars to stop and cars are also going pretty fast, but ve were lucky and one couole took us to Perpignan Sud.

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.

Good spot for directions Perpignan and Montpellier.

Mainly people go to Narbonne, there is a split, hold a sign “Perpignan” and someone will stop, also i saw some spain plates which i suppose were going to Barcelona or beyond

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

Sat outside to write Perpignan on my sign, got a ride before i managed to write "E". Lucky day. Friday night 23:30

I was almost immediately offered a ride to Perpignan area. One of the best place ever :) Very slow cars and plenty of space to stop, sunny !!

Immediately found a ride to Perpignan, anywhere there’s a pull off in this cop town

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

A lot of local traffic but finally got a lift directly to Perpignan
