Hitchhiking with my friend, picked up very fast in a sports car. Very nice

Just hitchhiked to decathlon to get some stuff, ps they don’t have tents, water filters. Or spirit stoves. Guy who picked me up was a news anchor and ran a story on me and my friend. Hitchhiked with another person.

let me just add the last experience i had on this gas station because i saw bad reviews. the spot works, tho you need to talk to people and with them try figure out where they go and how they could help you. at the important intersections, like this one, you only need to advance to the next rest area in your direction. the last time it was my then girlfriend and me, talking to drivers i got us a lift straight to málaga via almería. keep talking to people and you'll move, this is how it works in spain

Easily reachable from Barcelona by taking the R4 to Castelbisbal, but the worst for going to Madrid. Waited for 3 hours only the tourist were open to take me but they all go south to Valencia.

Good spot for getting to Valencia, though very little traffic late at night

Many cars going south

Few cars and almost all local traffic. Much better off getting a ride to the next gas station

Not too much traffic, but most cars going to Barcelona

We were a male-female duo and waited for 2 hours on a Thursday morning, trying to get to Cordoba, without success. This was my first time hitchhiking in the south of Spain, so I don't have a good reference frame whether that's long or not. Decent amount of traffic driving by to the highway and place to stop, some cars also go to the petrol station, although quite a few of them are rental cars that are filling up petrol just before handing them in on the airport. We decided to get the train instead.

got picked up by a pretty chill beach guy in VW T4. joint in left hand, cerveza in right hand. also he hadn’t gear shift. but that wasn’t necessary. he did some magic with his hand in that hole, where gear shift should be.

got invited to beach party

good place to die in chaos of bussy afternoon spanish traffic. got dropped here by a local. we tried HH here next to rotten cow leg. after a while he told himself that maybe thats not a best spot and decided to come back for as and take us to a better place.

after a rough hike to get here, we met funny guy with lot of dogs in his car

shoutout Ivan

Not really a stop, we just wanted to get on track as fast as possible so we showed our thumbs while walking. Cars were going fast and not a lot of traffic. We could also cross the border with France.

Not many cars passing by, but we got ride to Bielsa very fast. Might be luck.

Mostly local traffic and not a lot of place to stop.

The spot itself is not the best but if you want to get to Aínsa or Bielsa there is no better option. Not a lot of traffic. We’ve walked here for 1,5h.

Many cars passing by, we got a ride to Lleida very fast and on the way driver decided to lift us up even further past the Barbastro. Everybody seemed happy and chill ;)

Only local traffic and people were very rude and sad, some girl literally showed us middle finger xd

Great spot, very friendly drivers. Got a ride to Spain within 5 minutes

Quickly found a ride going all the way to Spain

I rejected maybe 8 rides because I thought I could get a farther one, and I did! All the way to the border of Spain! Most people are going to Orléans, but occasionally you meet someone going farther. I speak no French but managed to make do, good spot to hitchhike out west or south!

I don't think there is a better spot in the direction of Sevilla. A lots of cars, place for them to stop, a gastation if you feel social. Police saw me and were fine with it too, the highway starts after the roundabout. In Spain it doesnt get any better i think

As a solo woman, a two hours waiting time is really bad. I made a mistake while reading the map and hitchhiked there to go to Clermont-Ferrand / Lyon. There were many cars going to Bordeaux but almost none was going North. I think it is not worth taking the motorway to go to Clermont-Ferrand when starting there. This is why the cars do not use the motorway there (too expensive) and why I waited so long. I was lucky to have old friends going in the direction of Paris on that day, otherwise I think I might have stayed 4 hours there. It might be a good spot for Bordeaux / Spain. Please comment if this works.

I was waiting for a while to go south, but I think it would be easier to head north. Lots of trucks, McDonald's, showers and a hotel - big truck stop. Had a sign for Bordeaux but got a ride to Spain. I stood at the roundabout and it didn't work (little space to stop), but when I went to the end of the truck stop parking lot I got my ride in 15 min.

hitchhiking in spain can be really frustrating, patience is the key. spot was alright though. traffic not bad and plenty of space to stop

Better for east than west but a good place to wait for a long haul ride. Headed to Spain, got dropped here around 17 ended up spending the night. There is a food court area with a McDs and other food. 24 hour shop with charging area and showers. Folks at the shop are kind and showed me a place with cushioned benches where I could sleep for the night. Servo for East is better than for west. Lots of traffic south as well. Good place to get stuck. Started again at 6 had a ride to Spain by 730.

pulled an incredible miracle of a guy driving to spain, otherwise kind of a bad spot with little traffic. but has some place to stop

Heading to the UK. Didn't have a good time here. Spent 3 hours alternating between the exit road, the shop entrance, and walking round and asking people. Literally no-one said they were going towards Brussels, most people seemed to be going north, and there were lots of Dutch plates. Got offered one lift to Antwerp, and then eventually a guy driving to Spain offered me a lift to Brussels, though it turned out he wasn't driving to Brussels at all so I got out at Mons...

There is a lot of cars some Spanish some from Netherlands but most of them are French so it’s best to know French. First day we could find no one to go with towards Spain so we slept under a trees close to gas station. Second day we asked for one hour and we met Spanish dudes and they took us close to Perpignan.

Spot is visible to westward cars coming onto the highway and the gas station. However, cars coming onto the highway are often accelerating, and on the lookout for cars merging in. They might not be able to notice you, and even if they do it is hard to stop in time. There is a crash barrier which can make you less visible too though it does make you much safer. To get from our normal pedestrian roads to the gas station, there is a side road behind the toll booth office that is not monitored. This day was just before the eclipse in Spain so there were more foreign plates. But the traffic was a bit slower than some other highways I've been to. The man who picked me up was a Lithuanian driving to Oviedo, and there's no reason to believe that people would only be doing short hops here.

this was probably my bad or unluck, but i've noticed that if you pick the last gas station on the way to the city, no one will actually go the city in question. i had many offers to spain or further then montpellier, so in the end I accepted one and had to climb over the highway fence. wasn't hard or anything, but note that for Montpellier it can be problematic

The hardest thing about this place for you will be the competation. I found 3 others hichikers here who wanted to go the same direction. But even thou I got picked the last it was stil in a good timr. Most people goes to spain so it would be eseyer go to Barcelona from her but I wanted Carcasson (and got it)

Big station lots of traffic and a McDonald's, full with families today because vacation but also lots of trucks going to France and Spain. I waited at the end because it was too much for asking, but I'm sure it'll get you something faster. Had sign France, rejected a couple of rides to Strasbourg took one to Colmar.

Big Parking Space with a lot of cars. Mostly people on vacation. We (2) ask around and after half an hour found a long ride almost to Spain.

Drivers were overall not polite, relatively low passenger car traffic and a lot of dirty looks or avoidance - I was clean and groomed, didn't have this problem elsewhere. Saw a van with Spain number plates and kayaks on top, talked to the driver and he took me to just outside of Cologne.

Got a ride fairly quick, there's enough space for cars to pull off but barely. Gotta be ready to jump in quick. Overall hitchhiking in and around Cuenca seems to work a lot better than the rest of Spain.
