Try to NOT get dropped here if you want to go to Spain. All the people head north to Porto, so in this direction its very easy to find a ride.

Easy to find a direct ride to Porto too.

Got a ride to Fundão (on our way to Spain) in 20 minutes. Good to ask, since the road splits after a few km. Good place to camp too. (June 2014)

The "Santarém" service station in the A1 highway is a very busy one, no problems to find a ride here, direction Coimbra, Porto... It's the last gas station before the exit to the A23 highway - so if you're going to SPAIN (Salamanca, Valladolid...), you have to find here someone going to the A23 (nowadays it isn't free anymore, so there's less cars), the first gas station in A23 will be "Abrantes", and you're on your way to Spain!

I had to wait over more than three hours to find a ride to Coimbra. I shouldn't know why it wouldn't work out, but probably everybody goes direction of Fatima. Bad experience and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody
