On visait Madrid , on s'est mis ici pour l'emplacement qui semblait convenir et selon les quelques avis positifs. Assez chaotique, 1 voiture s'est arrêtée mais allait à 20 km plus loin. En soit c'est un bon lieu pour attendre le miracle : toilettes et points d'eau, ravito en bouffe ( bon 4 balles le paquet de Pringles classique...) , espace pour dormir. On a scotché 2 panneaux : "Madrid" et "Portugal" ( sait-on jamais !) mais ça n'a po marché. On était contraint par les horaires , donc youplaboum on se fait un panneau "Valencia" , et en 10 minutes nous voilà revenu à notre point de départ... C'est peut être un bon spot pour aller à Madrid puisque c'est "qu'à" 3h45 de route , mais bon c'est pas en 1 fois qu'on peut juger l'emplacement

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.

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.

In five minutes two cars stopped. One going towards Boadilla del Monte and one going to Guadalajara. Was trying to go to Madrid, if I had waited a tiny bit more I would have gotten one I think. Solo female, Saturday afternoon.

Lots of cars either come to Navas or go out of Navas in direction Ávila. Not much traffic going direction Madrid. Did get a car quite easily. Solo female, Saturday afternoon.

I wanted to go to Granada and got to this spot by bus from Madrid Center, it's a petrol station with a restaurant. Almost all of the trucks are not going outside of the city, they stay in the industrial zone around here so I had to wait a long time. There's also not much traffic or cars to ask. But after 3,5 hours I got really lucky and found a guy that went all the way to Malaga, he dropped me off in the center of Granada, it was perfect! So if you plan some time, this is a nice spot to get further south.

By far best spot for Madrid near zaragoza but is not easy to reach, yoi can take the bus 501 but don't know why today never passed(was signed on google maps) or you walk a LOT. This spot is good but the spanish HH mentality less. I maroccan guy saw me ask people and offered me a ride for Madrid.

The spot is similar at the one after but is under the bridge(better in summer) and there is a lot af space for cars to stop. The problem is that is an alternative way to enter in the higway for madrid so not much traffic. I wanted to take a bus(501) for the plaza big stores center(best spot so far for madrid) but it never pass, I also think is not cheap. I was ready to leave this spot and walk 2 hours for Plaza but a pakistan pick me up and dropped me there. Very lucky. Maybe you are luckier than me and go Madrid directly or can wait a lot.

University. In weekdays within the school year, you'll have people going through all day, to Galapagar, Madrid, Las Rozas, Torrelodones... Forgot my wallet after class and gave it a go, should be easy as long as you look "normal".

Proprqvly the other street is better, pass more cars, how told me the gas station worker. But i went here(take a train from madrid(4.40€) and walk for 40 mins. I was lucky because a meet a bulgarian man who drove me at barca, also payed me the lunch. Very lucky.

People here stop much more than in Madrid (I suppose because it’s a small town) nevertheless they go locally so I got stuck in Ocaña. If you want to go south hitchiking I recommend going along la costa del sol avoiding Madrid region because there are more foreign people.

Hitchiked during summer. That seems to be a perfect plact, the problem is spanish people (at least in the Madrid region) mostly stopped taking hitchikers since COVID. I hitchiked there during more than an hour but no one stopped. There’s a traffic light so I went to see directly people and finally a man accepted to take me, but he was not going far away so I got stuck in a village. I’m sad to say I don’t recomment hitchiking in the Madrid region nowadays, better use the famous car sharing app.

There is almost no traffic, maybe if you are alone, there were few trucks drivers. We stood there realy long time, with a sign to Madrid, then without a sign and then we started to ask people on the gas station. First person was a Czech guy (we are also from Czechia), he told us that he is going to Madrid, but unfortunately he does not take hitchhikers. After that we asked another guy and he took us to Madrid and in Madrid he bought us train tickets to Salamanca, so we were realy lucky. But it is a terrible spot. Boy and girl, afternoon, weekday

Maybe the worst gas station in Spain, or maybe it is because people from Spain do not understand hitchhiking.. First day we stood there for like two hours, it was evening. And police officers told to us to get out of there, because hitchiking on autovias is ilegal. So we get out and build up a tent on a field next to highway, pretty nice spot for camping. The second day we decide to hitchhike on the roundbout with a sign to Madrid, we stood there for maybe six hours? After that time some guy took us to a gas station in that direction, maybe 20 kilometers. We found out that, police officers were waiting for us on the previous spot, so be carefull. P. S. Do not believe people from Spain, if they told you they are going to drop you off on a busy gas station..

Stood there with a sign to Madrid, very low traffic in that direction. After some time a guy took us. He told us he would drop us off at a busy gas station, it was a lie and in fact the worst gas station in Spain. We werent lucky this time, but I am sure he thought it was a good idea. Boy and girl, late afternoon, weekday

Majority if the cars are going to Madrid, but some are going to the neighbouring towns north. I was going to Santiago (i know, far) with sign saying "A-6, Santiago, A Coruña" next time I would probably just use Ávila or some closer point.

direction caceres, dropped by a lift from madrid friday afternoon its a big station. laods of trucks go for the restaurant, and quite a nice flow of cars at the petrol station ive been asking everyone across station and restaurant, until 3 chicos going to WOMAD festival (which i was unaware lucky me) drove me all the way to caceres!

the station in good, a decent amount of cars quite a lot of locals...i was going in direction of caceres and on thursday afternoon (from 3PM ) it took me 3h to find a loft to xanadu, a big shopping centre near by (the guy told me was better from there, and after 3h i just took it) there, in my opinion, was worse, cus being on the other side of the A5, everyone was going towards madrid i also tried at the roundabout but with no luck so i went back here, slept on a tent behind the station (its pretty chill), and next morning, after 1h (10-11AM), i found a lift to the station at the 88km, with a restaurant that seems better lets see

i ended up here after a disastrous series of tiny lifts out of barca the station is massive, loads of trucks (who all told me they couldn't take me with them), gas station where you can ask people, supermarket and apparently showers too i didnt have time to explore, cus i soon found a lucky lift to madrid, despite i was aim soley to lleida. lucky day for me some peeps where going to barcelona too, so im sure you can find for both directions

i was going dlin direction lleida, i had a big ass sign, my mistake was to leave barcelona with a lift that wasnt direct to there, and ended up in igualada. i had to walk a bit to get here, the most obvious spot to go west (enogh space for car to see you and to stop too), and soon after a nice guy drove me 10min inside the autopista to a quite big service station, where i actually found a lift all the way to madrid. so it went well in the end
