We were trying to go toward Zaragoza. Took us a while to realize that wasn't going to happen. Most people are going either to France or Barcelona. Around lunchtime we decided to accept a ride to Barcelona and ask a drop off before the highway exit. But by that time there were almost no cars coming through, and the ones that did weren't going to Barcelona. One truck driver accepted to drive one person, but we were two and wanted to stick together. In the end we took a bus to Figueres and then a train to Barcelona.

the staff is friendly and helpful. the spot was empty during the night, as pretty much all in spain. and mind you it was during the apagón. it works for several directions, namely murcia, valencia, one trucker even said he was going to badajoz. eventually a romanian van driver took me all the way to porta de barcelona, even a bit out of his way. thanks, mihail

Got dropped here. Absolutely no traffic when I was there. Waited at the restaurant rather than the petrol station. Had a sign to Zaragoza but got a lift almost to Barcelona. Pretty lucky, wouldn’t recommend.

Honestly we were so lucky that Thomas picked us because this spot is really bad and car don’t have a lot of place to Park… but still ok if you want to go barcelona

Good place to go to Barcelona, a lot of space for cars to Park and ask them for a ride

This is one of the best spots in Manresa to go to Barcelona! We tried the two roundabout more in the north before for 1h15 but it was not working. So we mooved and get a course in 2 min!! The spot is perfect with great space for the cars to stop before the roundabout.

Perfect spot. Sunday morning, lots of international and long distance cars, going in all directions. Couldn't find cardboard so just thumbed, and got a ride all the way to Barcelona, my ultimate destination.

Not that great of a spot. Hitchiking in early November (2 guys) going south, waited for 3 hours before a Ukrainian guy took us to our destination, Peniscola. Although I don't know what would be a better spot to leave Barcelona.

Most spanish i talked to did not go to Zaragoza. After some time i got a ride with a german women who was going to the french pyrenees. I went with her to Zaragoza to continue to Barcelona. It was around 9 am. I would recommend this spot when going out of Madrid, since other Spots of hitchhiking out of Madrid didn‘t go well. It‘s a gas station + restaurant and there is fairly good traffic.

We asked people at the gas station and after asking 8 or 9 cars, one took us to near Barcelona ! Great

Best place to leave Marseille. I used it two times. This time, i got a ride straight to Montpellier within 5 minutes, the car was going to Barcelona. I use a sign "MONTPELLIER, Fos/Salon". In Salon there is a massive toll on the highway where you can have better luck. The other way through Fos is a smaller road where you can hitchike from roundabout.

This petrol station is surprisingly quiet and pleasant (compared to the rest of the Jonquera industrial area). A constant flow of cars stopping by, but not super busy either. The right amount of traffic. Eventhough I had a sign saying "Figueres", where I was planning to take a train, a middle aged french couple took me all the way to Barcelona, my destination.

Was just standing at the end of the station because I'm lazy, sign Barcelona. Still got a ride within 20 minutes. Less friendly cars than before, but lots of them (very good steady flow, it was also lunch time).

Waited at the exit of the car area for 5 minutes with sign Barcelona. Lots of cars and trucks. Got approached with ride to Narbonne by lovely older couple, took it. They fed me breakfast and sweets.

Got a ride to Barcelona after some time, maybe when it's less traffic on the highway, you can try to go directly at the highway right after the toll at the side of the road

I waited here, because of the comment before. Got picked up by a family to the other side of Zaragoza. Hope to get a ride to Barcelona there. (The car actually came not from the curve, so from the other direction is also posst)

We were walking around the gas station and asking people with a sign to Montpellier, suddenly a guy came to us and said he's going to Andorra. We were trying to get to Barcelona, so we were very lucky!

It is not the greatest spot, but the previous guy took us to a gas station in Torreblanca and that was even worse spot. There wasn't much traffic and not an ideal place to stop, lot of trucks. Most of people were going to Barcelona, we had sign with Castello. After some time a kind lady stopped us and took us to train station in Castello. Boy and girl, afternoon, weekday.
