We (guy + girl) thumbed with an Almuñecar/Nerja sign for a while. Only one car stopped, and they didn't take us, I'm not sure why. Maybe because I was holding a mango. Eventually we got a ride from a friend in a nearby village instead.

I hitched from here many times to Órgiva. It usually takes 10-30 minutes to get a ride, depending on the time of day. Many are happy to take you, but there's not so much cars on the road.

From the exit of the petrol station, it was probably the third car that stopped - we got super lucky, they were going to Málaga and were happy to drop us off in Nerja.

Mostly local traffic - we had a sign to Librilla. At some point a local helped us out.

We thumbed at the petrol station and the Lidl exit, but seemed like everyone was local traffic. We decided to try the exit of the nearby IKEA instead, with a sign for Librilla, and most was still local traffic - but quite soon a local helped us out.

We stood at the exit of the petrol station with thumbs up, and within a few minutes some locals stopped and took us to Salobreña

It was a bit confusing, since I wasn't sure which carparks were for longer stays, drop-offs, rentals, etc. Most seemed to be rentals. But I walked around with my partner and after about 20 minutes, the third car we showed out thumbs to gave us a ride to a service station in Murcia.

Often when I don't want to wait, I walk from Nerja towards Maro, and just stick my thumb out when I hear a car coming. For some reason, nearly every time I do this, it is at precisely this roundabout that someone (usually a vanlifers) picks me up.

Many go from here towards Mótril, and there are a lot of vanlifers happy to pick up hitchhikers.

I hitched from here many times, sometimes alone and sometimes with a friend. Cars go East along the coast, many only to Maro but some further to Motril or even Granada. There's a big space for stopping safely. Locals are used to hitchers around here.

This is the best spot for going towards Panpaneira/Pitres/other villages deeper in the Sierra Nevada from Órgiva.

I have hitched from here towards Granada a few times, sometimes alone and sometimes with a friend. Usually the wait is 10-15 minutes.

Got stranded by missed bus connection on the way to El Chorro for climbing. Got picked up by a bmw which was a shock. Used a sign from the bins behind the nearby supermarket.

First the police past me by shouting something at me so when the next official looking vehicle stopped I expected to be told of, but it turned out to be a friendly park ranger. He just had to stop at every parking space to check on stuff. Sign "Teide".

With sign"Teide". Enough place to stop but it took me 43 minutes to get a ride..

With sign "Teide". Only short ride to the next village.

With sign "Teide". Got a ride to La Laguna. I stood under the viaduct for the traffic coming from the roundabout.

Busy gas station, plenty of people you can ask for a ride.

If you want to go south, this spot is pretty good for this small town. Signal to cars that are exiting the roundabout and those that are already on the highway, doubles your chances!

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

Took about 30 mins, decent spot for cars to stop - but its Spain so getting a ride isnt the easiest, but it’ll come.

Not a lot of space for the cars to stop and there aren't too many going deeper into Spain. Gpt lucky and were picked up by the bus

The car are going slow and there's space to stop. Good for going into the direction to Spain but probably hard to get in to Spain.

Good to go to Collioure, there's space to stop and cars aren't going too fast. The closer to Spain you want to get the hardwr it probably is.

First Car picked us up, enough space to stop, not really representative for spain though

Many people are here in summer taking a rest. But I wanted to go to Spain and didn't found a good ride for a long time, there were all driving by (I stood at the echt of the resting area.) Bring sun protection and patience.

Wanted to go South towards Spain, had a sign with A6 / A10 Sud de la France but had to wait pretty long until I found a proper ride. There's a traffic light and also some place to stop for cars, but most of the people just drove by without stopping, it was hard since many are not going out of town. Still, after 3h I got lucky and found a man that took me 4 hours South and I had no stress, so it was fine :)

Good spot for everywhere in spain😅 I took a bus in san sebastian(31) and walked 20 min(is about 1/1.30 hour only walking). At the end of the road there is a little road between the bushes. Good spot

I was trying the spot for the highway(for spain) but there were not many cars and not so much space for stop. We were 2, one was trying for the highway and me for the normal road. My stop worked, a guy dropped us in the spanish border.

Good spot for san sebastian or beyonne or spain.

It worked but you need to ne patience. There were some blackberry to. The guy dropped me in the first gas station, good spot for san sebastian or spain.

not so many cars leaving here to Zaragoza. We spent night here because only one girl stopped and was scared to take 2 guys. Next day we started hitchhiking from 7:30 and finally at 12:15 one man from Africa who lives in Spain took us to Zaragoza. 1 km from here is the roundabout that goes to zaragoza but police told us if they saw us again we will pay. But one police woman said 20 minutes ago that we can autostop there.

The pot is perfect, i was aiming italy so it takes long searching for italian cars, but if you want to go in france is super easy. Is possible also for germany and spain or switzerland and netherlans(in summer of course). There is a MC, the station is open 24, i slept there because was raining. There are 2 parking spot.

I waited about 5 minutes at the exit of the station, with a sign saying "A10", and got a lift to Chatellereault (near Poitiers). A few cars even stopped before that but were not able to help me. Many people heading to the south, and a lot of truckers are resting. Go ahead and ask them, many of them go to Spain ! 👍

My shortest waiting time for a ride in Spain

Knowing waiting times and average distances in Spain I think I was pretty lucky. Near this spot there is place to set up a tent in woods nearby between gas station and railroad, it's guarded by a fence but there is place where you can easly cross over it without jumping over it

After I waited for an hour with a sign "Espanha", a guy approached me and took me after Salamanca. Apparently, many people at the station were willing to take me but thought Spain was too far. Be patient!

Pretty good spot, got ride to first service station in Spain

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.
