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.

Fairly busy gas station with restaurant. Exit ramp is not super long but it's ok to wait there with sign. No shade to hide in while waiting for a car. It was Sunday, so I think lot of people was on journey home. I was heading to Barcelona and got ride to Zaragoza. Behind the gas station is little fores suitable for hammock.

So far best spot on the journey from Madrid to Barcelona. But probably got lucky with ride in 10min. I was here at morning around 9:00. Great visible spot to stand with sign and under tree with shade. Not so busy but some flow of car is there. I got there with bus 214 from the city. Don't take cards, better have cash in coins.

In a normal country for hitchiking it would be a perfect spot. But in Spain we waited 3 hours till some Italian guys took us. My mate was even talking Spanish and asking people around the gas station but everyone seemed to be afraid to take hitchikers. Been asking around gas station, staying with a sign on a bus stop near gas station and also trying to get someone on the entrance to highway and not much luck. Police came and said that we got to leave the highway's entrance. A much more traffic to Barcelona though so maybe it would be better and we were trying to go to France

Amazing spot. After just about 10 Minutes a couple brought me to San Cugat del Valles. Stand there with a Barcelona sign.

We (2 people) got a ride to Barcelona after waiting about 100 minutes and asking people at the parking area and gas station. Most people were heading south or towards Zaragoza. Still, it’s a good spot because you can easily talk to people and there’s a steady flow of cars.

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.

with my girlfriend (her comment bellow), after shopping in near mall (must visit, the prices were so low) we got a ride to Barcelona with german van guy (shoutout naked Gert, i love it)

mother with daughter took us and said that she is going to Barcelona, loud music, windows down, hurricane at back seats, stoped few kilometres behind border in Ia Jonquera and without any speach she went to shop. so did we, the prices were so low, must have, little chaotic, but good vibe after all

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
