Waited 2,5 hours for a drive Salamanca direction, wasn’t too busy but today is the middle of the long weekend though. Few drivers before we got our ride wanted to take us to Pamplona so probably it is a good spot to take a hike there.

Bit difficult to get to- had to hike from Ugaos Mirabelles station for a bit then jump over a fence on the other side of the AP68 but after asking for 30 mins or so we got a lift to Madrid ! Think we got very lucky though, a lot of people staying near Bilbao

Very good spot to go from Bilbao to South.
You can reach the petrol station in the following way:
- take train from Bilbao to Ugao-Miraballes
- from the train station, get to the east side of the river and go along it to north (u'll be going with some forest road and hiking trail)
- track your GPS while going the road. in one moment u'll have to go left on trails crossing and u'll be just by the fence to the petrol station. You can jump through it and vuala! you are on the station ;)

There's no need to cross any rivers, highways or other dangerous things.

This is the next gas station out of bilbao direction zaragossa/madrid.
Its nearly impossible to reach this station without a driver. we walked from the center of bilbao to here. First idea: walk one kilometer on the highway. While the daylight, seems impossible, cause the police is waiting for you before the entrance of the highway. So we had no other option, than to cross the nature! Got to the BI-625 and cross the river using a bridge. Then climb and struggle throught the nature :D. It was a adventure for us! Maybe its better to go the one kilometer on the highway by night. hopefully there is no police there :)

But from this station we waited 2 hours to get a ride direction madrid
