Not the ideal spot, not a lot of traffic and, in summer, mainly frequented by families who do not have room for hitchhikers. We wanted to join Valencia and finally luckily found someone who brought us to Montélimar after 20 minutes of waiting. We probably should have tried to ask the motorists present in the area directly.

We positioned ourselves after the lights with a "Valencia" sign. We were taken quickly and advanced 50km towards Valencia, on a motorway rest area.

Pretty decent for going to Valencia or Tarragona. Terrible for Zaragoza or further west (my goal). Used every method.

a lot of ppl go south, as others have mentioned. but finding a ride to Valencia is more than possible. ask cars at the gas station and wave to those, who pass by while coming from a restaurant.

Several offers to Valencia and Tarragona. Not good for Zaragoza direction. The other highway to the east is toll free, I’ll try there.

Well, we firstly tried to stop to Zaragoza, that didnt work out too well, then we switched to Valencia, after an hour we got a ride to a gas station near tarragona

Arrived at the spot in the evening. We asked anyone who stopped but no one wanted to take us, either the cars where full or there where going to the wrong direction. After 1-2 hours we decided to call it a day and sleep there. Also not the best place to spend the night, it’s really loud and bright everywhere. In the morning we tried again, after another two hours we found a German guy who took us all the way to Valencia. It’s a tough spot. All in all there are a lots of cars but most of them a already fully packed. But maybe if you speak spanisch it’s easier to get a ride. At the end still ok because we are two woman and always felt safe.

There is a gas station + a restaurant there. Many cars come by, around 50% go to Valencia and 50% go to Madrid. You can ask drivers at the gas station or at the restaurant, we did both and found someone in the restaurant right away. A cute couple took us 1 hour closer to madrid. Tip: When you find a service station on their way, make sure it has many ratings (1000+) so you don't get stranded.

To go towards Madrid/Andalusia: You reach this spot by the public „metrobus“ 430A from Valencia. Its not the red city busses but the yellow metrobus. It starts from the main bus station but dont try to catch it there because noone knows where it departs. We caught it one spot down from there and it came by the time stated on google maps. Its like 3€. The spot itself is not great but okay. There are people going to Valencia or other local towns (many), some to Madrid and quite a few to Andalusia/Sevilla/Portugal. Many cars are full. We arrived at 20:00 and tried for 2 hours and got close to a lift to madrid multiple times. We went to sleep in a field nearby which was perfect. Next day it took us another 2 hours to go to another service station 1 1/2 hours towards spain. I don't know if we just got unlucky but I think its just spain. Many people are shocked when you ask them for a lift.

Great spot, 10min walk from Benidorm Internodal Train Station. The walk is a tiny bit sketchy but it works. You NEED a sign, we were lucky and got to valencia in 10min :)

Tried to go west but it didn't work. Eventually I tried to get into Valencia which worked ok.

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

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.

Great spot, reviews were right ! We asked 3 cars and one of them got us directly to Valencia! We were 2

Sûrement un bon spot pour aller à Barcelone. Mais pas du to it pour aller à Valencia. On m’a posé ici en me disant que c’était un bon départ pour Valence, puis en regardant la carte je me rends compte que pas du tout. Heureusement un espagnol s’est arrêté pour me Dire que je n’allais jamais trouver une voiture pour Valencia, mais qu’il allait me poser de l’autre côté de la ville, ou ça a très bien marché !

Realy nice spot for hitchiking to Valencia. Lot of foreigners, we got ride after twenty minutes, stood there with a sign Valencia, boy and girl, it was evening, probably weekday

Absolutely terrible spot, we were lucky. Lots of traffic, but cars are going really fast and there is no real place to stop. We had a sign to Valencia, and some guy took us after 30 minutes to a gas station in that direction. Boy and girl, probably weekday and early evening

We got pushed 15-20 km to a nicer location on our way to valencia
