We saw another pair of hitchhikers immediately find a lift to Porto so I think we just had less luck. We got a lift to Tordesillas with some persuasion.rating: 3/5, wait: 45 min 💬+🪧, ride: 190 km ↙

Busy gas station on the way to the main highway (A1) heading norte.Really easy at friday's afternoon.
Talk to the drivers and ask if they can take you to the next service area. Once in the highway really easy to go to Porto.
Disadvantages: near the city center, a lot of people just passing or going for the suburbs.

For the direction of Porto in Portugal, someone take us for the direction of Oviedo, so it's a nice spot. Even more because we wait under the rainrating: 4/5, wait: 20 min

I only took a look at this spot since the driver from Vila Pouca de Aguiar dropped me here by mistake on my way north-south. This spot can lead you west to Porto, but it's so steep so I'd recommend the one more south-west in Parada do Cuñhos. On the other hand, the bus station is 2 minutes walking :)rating: 3/5

Very good spot to continue the hitchhike to south. A water spring is available. Drivers smiled, 2 cars stopped within 40-50 minutes and the second one dropped me in Vila Real.However, if you are going to Viseu/Coimbra, don't drop off on the western side of Vila Real where the bus station is, or you'll need a city bus to A24 entrance (5/31/51, cost 1,55€). Also if you wanna continue to Porto or the west, that highway entrance in Vila Real city centre looks steep and uncomfortable to wait at, so you'd better check the map for a better continuation.
Here might be good northward as well.

I waited all morning to get a ride to Porto. Asking people I got nothing. Bad place, because it's all locals.At 16h a couple gave me a ride to another gas station in the A1 and from there it took me 5 minutes to get a ride directly to Porto!

From the looks of it a very good spot for stopping, but we waited for quite some time on a monday afternoon with 2 people and a sign saying Porto. Might have been because of the time and other days could work better.rating: 5/5, wait: 120 min, ride: 130 km ↑

Couldn't even remove our backpacks, some French tourists already stopped. 5 star because it's easy for cars to stop, there is good space on the right. And both people coming from Seixal and Porto Moniz can stop for you.rating: 5/5, wait: 1 min, ride: 8 km ↘
