On s'est mis ici suite aux différents avis de la carte, et bah on aura pas eu autant de chance... On s'est fait refouler par tous les chauffeurs routiers de la station , il y en a beaucoup et dispersés partout sur l'aire. La plupart allaient à Tarragone , Valencia ou pas très loin de Barcelone. Les voitures n'allaient pas très loin non plus. On est tombés sur un mec qui allait à Gibraltar mais qui n'avait pas de places dans son camping-car , la poisse... Globalement on alternait tour des camions / tour des voitures / pouce à la sortie de l'aire. Un russe s'est arrêté et nous a emmené d'une seule traite à Valencia. On visait Saragosse , Madrid ou Burgos; le spot semble pas trop mal pour bouger autour de Barcelone, mais c'est possible de tomber sur la pépite qui peut vous emmener loin ! 5h30 d'attente.

I waited here for 2 hours and a half before giving up. It was on a Monday morning so maybe not the best Time to find a car. I tried to go Burgos the spot is ok just before the highway with some space to stop.

The gas station has the advantage to be accessible by foot in one hour from Burgos. However, it's quite small. I was there on a Sunday and there were not so many people. I preferred hitching at the entrance of the highway rather than the station to maximise the number of cars that could see me.

I tried asking around at the gas station but all the cars were full or we're going towards Salamanca. There are a lot of truck drivers and foreigners (France, UK, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland...) at the gas station, but many are families. After I decided moving to the entrance of the highway, a Spanish guy exited from the highway, and promised me to take me to Valladolid (my sign). Turns out he was going further and I ended up in Burgos.

Not the busiest service station but I got suuuper lucky as I got a ride to Burgos from the first people I asked. There was maybe 3 trucks and about 20 cars at 11am on a monday. Camping here is a bit awkward too, closest woods are ~30min walk away.

There is a stop Light, where cars nee to stop, so you can throw your thumb out and walk along the cars to wait for a positive reaction. Just by the stoplight is also a big paper bin, where you can take some cardboard from to make a sign. I Made one direction León, (Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Burgos). After around 10 Stoplight phases a guy took me to Arrasate/Mondragon near Vitoria.

We just arrived at this spot when a car took us to Burgos. Enough place to stop.

Within 5 minutes staff came to ask us to leave, but we got lucky as someone pulled over at the same time who drove us to Burgos. Wouldn't risk it again!

I don’t how you people autostop from here. I’m sure it’s possible but just tell me the way. It’s a big road with a looot of cars that don’t have where to stop nor how to see you. On top of that when you go to Madrid the cars nearest to you are not going there so you won’t pick anyone near you. The only idea I had was to ask people on the red light, but as I said it would be people on the middle of the road and I didn’t want to risk being there when the light turns green. I’m disappointed I tried both ways out of Burgos to Madrid and both are bad, I’ll have to take a bus :(

Good spot if you want to go to Bilbao. A lot of cars go there. But we wanted to go south (Burgos, Madrid). After 3hours We had a ride to Zaragoza.

Got a ride to Burgos pretty quickly. You need to have a large sign, because cars are a bit fast in the roundabout

Good to go north, lots of place for cars to stop (also, great places to sleep with your tente nearby 😉) However, if you want to go to Burgos, Madrid, or others cities on the west or south, you should go on the west of the city

A lot of space for cars to stop, end of Vitoria heading for Burgos at first seems very very nice, but the reality is that waiting time is quite long and there's a lot of local traffic (for example to Miranda). HOWEVER, my friend and I had huge luck - we stopped a car going to Guarda, Portugal, through Burgos, Valladolid and Salamanca. This was probably like winning a lotery (we were heading for Lisboa), but it happened. Good luck!!!

30 min to Burgos. Ask people while they're refilling their tanks.

I was at the gas station (not the one up, the first one) and just had to wait 15mn. I was heading to Madrid and he left me in Burgos, very good!

Good place to stop for cars. They drive slow and almost all the trafic passing this spot is heading to Burgos. Waited about 30 minutes and then someone picked me up direction Burgos.
