Couldn't even remove our backpacks, some French tourists already stopped. 5 star because it's easy for cars to stop, there is good space on the right. And both people coming from Seixal and Porto Moniz can stop for you.―Anonymous

Going towards Pico do Arieiro. It was late in the afternoon, heavy fogging, very minimal traffic, maybe 40-50 cars in 15 minutes. The spot itself is in the corner next to the STOP sign so can hitchhike both roads and people have to slow down anyways (one road for STOP sign, the other for hairpin corner). I rate it 3 stars as the spot for cars to stop isn't the best. Thankfully traffic is very minimal so that's not really a danger. First couple who stopped also went to Pico do Arieiro so it was an easy hitchhike to the top.―Anonymous

Going towards Seixal. Really not ideal as cars don't have a spot to stop in. We got lucky and someone picked us up really quickly, just stopping on the side of the road, blocking the way of traffic. Try to hitchhike well before the solid line starts so you leave space for other cars to overtake the car stopped to pick you up.―Anonymous
