The spot is good, heavy traffic, enough space for the cars to stop. We tried to hitch a ride to Porto but didn't get lucky. As it was an extremely hot day and there was no shade on the side of the road at the time when we were there, we waited only 40 minutes before taking a bus.

We started from Sintra in the morning with my boyfriend with two signs - Norte and Porto, holding them together, and the guy Fred stopped and took us almost all the way there. He dropped us of on the beach, where he had a lunch with a friend which allowed us to enjoy some of the ocean :)

man, alone, 26 years, waited for a long time, but no one went up north. Little cars moved from the left lanes (direction Porto) to this gas station. Eventually opted for a bus from the Oriente bus station (20 min. from the gas station/30 min. walk)

Essa foi a mais rápida e certeira do dia, um casal muito bacana, ela portuguesa e ele inglês, me levaram até próximo ao centro do porto. Posto muito bom pra caronar.
Chegando ali fui de encontro ao meu amigo Gabriel, na verdade Luana, a amiga caroneira, encontrei em Lisboa, foi mal. Gabrielzão ciclo viajante. E daí começou o drama de saber como ir barato a Eslováquia pra voluntariar com o I@E e também onde deixar a mochila que o Andrew me deu na África do sul. Acabei voltando a Lisboa e deixei a mochila com a amiga angola Magdalena, como não consegui voltar a Portugal desde então, minha amiga Anki, que foi faze residência artística, levou pra mim de volta ao Br. Obrigado a todos.

A primeira placa que usei na saída de Lisboa foi Santarém e peguei uma com uns caras que iam até Torres, foi muito boa e estratégica, porque depois deste pedágio usei uma placa indicando pra Leila, e antes desta cidade tem esse excelente posto de gasolina pra pegar pra Porto. Peguei carona com um caminhoneiro ucraniano indo até Figueira da voz, e por mais que eu quisesse conhecer mais Portugal e enrolar um pouco mais, tinha poucos dias até meu voluntariado no congresso universal de esperanto. E minha amiga caroneira Luana estava esperando por mim em Lisboa. Um dia eu volto a Portugal, quem sabe. E o caminhoneiro também me deu uma "coca zero vegana". Bebi. Sorry.

Long waiting time (like everywhere on our route trough portugal) but definitly possible to get the ride from here to Lisbon. More people showed us that they go north - direction Porto. We tried different places on N234 from Mealhada but this spot after the rondo and before pay-gates was so far the best.

Wort place to go to Portugal.
All spanish people, you know...
A old french couple took me to Vilar Formoso.
In Vilar I couldn't hitchhike more and I had to take train to Guarda and then to Porto.

We were super lucky that day. We thought of going by train but before we gave ourselves chance with hitchhiking. A car stopped in 2 minutes and took us directly to Porto

In summer crowded place with a lot of ppl heading west of Spain or Portugal (mainly Porto). Out of the season maybe not that good place. After few minutes I found a couple who give me a lift to Guimaraes.

If you go south, better ask only for rides to Viana. From there it's easier to go to Porto. This spot got me a ride compared to the one on the south of the town

I was trying to get a ride to Viana/Porto... But too much local traffic, or bad luck (: decided to walk to the other side of the village where is a connection to the highway and got a ride there.
