it was during the great blackout, this gas station had a generator, was thus operating, and entire lisbon was filling there.it took a while to get moving in that huge chaos, the vehicle vaiting line stretched all the way back to the highway. i was given a lift by one young portuguese girl, then in vendas novas i immediatelly got a portuguese truck to villarrobledo (albacete). she even vent asking round if anyone would take me.
i had been on this spot before, in 2017, and i instantly got a portuguese truck almost to lucena (córdoba) on the highway to málaga. it's the spot you need to reach from lisbon and then it's easy to continue

Fábrica da Portucel is a paper factory that has trucks going to all around Portugal, Spain, France, Germany etc. You can hitch a ride to the parking lot from Setubal. If you are not afraid of waiting for hours it's possible to get a long-distance ride. I was there scouting but didn't try hitching yet.―Anonymous

Get to the last traffic lights before the highway (next to Jumbo supermarket) and be ready to get in when the cars are stopped. It is fairly easy to hitch both towards North (Lisbon) and South (Algarve).―Anonymous

We waited (a boy and a girl) for 2 hours but nobly stopped.But it's the winter season,so that might be why―Anonymous

Arrived 20.12.2017. Basically all local traffic towards Setubal or south. Not a lot traffic on a Wednesday afternoon. Senseless to go East towards Spain. Better stay at previous one closer to Lisbon if heading Spain. In my opinion if you're heading south you might get a chance here, although most of the traffic just head to Setabul or around.―Anonymous

Not a big amount of traffic on this gas station, but it's definitely a good place to hitch rides direction Algarve. If by any chance you start your trip in Setúbal,it's worth the effort getting to this station (around 6 km walking or by bus to Palmela and then ~2km). Only a small fence separates the road you take from the station.―Ewelinalucy

On a cloudy day in November it took 40 mins to get a ride for 2 people. Should be easier on days with better weather when more people go to Arrábida.―Ilmer

Seems like a nice spot, but we had a hard time here. Maybe we just got a bad luck. But seems like no one was going anywhere far. At least do not try to get a ride from there to South.―Anonymous
