It's an okayish spot: there's this place to stand and cars can stop (either close to where you are or quickly going inside the gas station). The roundabout exit to the highway gives way both to Perpignan and to Girona/Barcelona. We (M&F) couldn't get a ride after waiting for an hour in the early afternoon, holding a sign that said "Barcelona". We didn't ask in the gas station, though, but we saw many people stop there, including trucks.

Coming from Marseille, got dropped off here to change direction and go westwards. I stood rigth after the toll gate, next to the toll's rest area entrance so cars could stop there. There is a nice tree to give you shadow here super neat! I had to wait a bit but a truck stopped goind to Barcelona, perfect ride ! No sign.

Constant flow of traffic going quite long distances. Turned down several offers for Marseilles and Nice, ended up with a ride direct past Barcelona 🤙. May the hitchhiking gods be with you.

Not much space on the roundabout, but they can stop on the side and go slow. Maybe I got lucky, but the first car that passed in direction Lleida stopped and took me there. People coming from the airport or the beach towards C25. Should be a good alternative to go direction Zaragoza without getting stuck in Barcelona.

No problem to find rides, was trying for Barcelona/Girona, a lot of people were going to Toulouse. Waited at the end of the station before the roundabout, but asking around should work well too.

The hardest thing about this place for you will be the competation. I found 3 others hichikers here who wanted to go the same direction. But even thou I got picked the last it was stil in a good timr. Most people goes to spain so it would be eseyer go to Barcelona from her but I wanted Carcasson (and got it)

Go after the gates, there a small parking on the right and space to park. Cars that go to north have to cross paths to get to you, but if you go to south it's easier Hard to get in, long walk needed before Many people going to Barcelona

Few Cars passing but mostly people on holiday with full cars. We asked a lot of people until 2 spanisch people took us with there van near Barcelona. Not the best spot, you need a lot of time and endurance.

Very busy gas station but for some reason in a way to Barcelona I waited rly long and got to the small city Vilafranca del Penedés, where I took train R4 to Barcelona for 6 Euros.

In theory, this should be a great hitchhiking spot. The cars are exiting a roundabout, so they're not going that fast, and visibility is great, so they can see you from afar. On top of that, you can also signal to cars leaving the gas station. Despite all this, I waited for longer than I expected. In the end, and old couple in an audi took me somewhere where I could catch a local train to Barcelona. The whole thing still took shorter than the rail replacement that I chose to skip. I had a sign with "Berga" and "Manresa" on it.

I tried hitchhiking at the road exiting the village for around 20 minutes but no one picked me up, so I gave up and went to the bus stop. While waiting there, a group of three british friends offered me a ride to Barcelona on their camper van, which is where I was going. Does it count as hitchhiking if I didn't even ask for it?

Nice point to get long drives north or south (on the other side of the highway, there's a bridge to cross). Lots of traffic towards Barcelona (you don't wanna enter if it's not your final destination cause then it's difficult to exit) but also tourist, workers and other people with long commutes that are willing to help. Finally got home! 4 days and a half hitchhicking from Lisbon to Girona. Very fun.

The guy that drove me from Mequinensa to Alcarràs the day before said me he was going to Barcelona next day, so I slept near Lleida as it was getting late and at the morning he picked me up at my accomodation and dropped me at the servo. Mersi Jordi!!! Besides that i don't think it's a good spot to go futher than Lleida as there's mostly local traffic.

On journay from Barcelona this was my transfer station. It seems all cars from Barcelona to Madrid need to go on this way. On gas station is also restaurant. Exit ramp is great long and cars are slow.
