Two people pulled over. First person that pulled over was going to Calp. Second was going to Alicante. Great place to pull over and for drivers to see you with your sign.―Calebblor

Great spot, 10min walk from Benidorm Internodal Train Station. The walk is a tiny bit sketchy but it works. You NEED a sign, we were lucky and got to valencia in 10min :)―TajineMachine

Unfortunately this "Peaje" is your only chance to get to the highway. Avoid this place. It took us hours to get a ride to Alicante. There are some good tomatoes and grapes around, however. :)―Anonymous

I have to say that this was my worst experience doing hitchhiking here. A couple of brothers thought that it would be good idea to get a lift in this "Peaje" because a lot of drivers pass through it and from this place, is the only way to go to Alicante. It was in summer when I did it, and there are a lot of English people who own a summer house in that region of Spain. Reach people with fancy cars who won't even think in the possibility to give you a ride. It was a little bit late when I started to ask for a lift, but my hope ended up at midnight because nobody stopped. I was hungry but there’s no store or restaurant near there. I started to look for a place to sleep and I speeded the night on the pavement of a road. I’m in shock after this situation. I just can’t believe how selfish and indifferent can the people be.―Tavo S.

Good spot to go to Valencia or Alicante, lots of space for cars to stop, traffic is slow enough to notice you. Just make sure you have a sign :)―sunnsia

Been asking around this gas station (my mate is speaking Spanish) but people seemed to not care. Also tried with a sign and gestures but no luck till some Moroccan guy stopped and asked if we have a driving licence. He wanted us to drive 650km to Girona because he stopped there to have a few hours of sleep, but apparently we were around XDNot a lot of traffic at this station
Two guys

Not a good spot because there are not a lot of cars stopping at the petrol station. I was lucky and a guy stopped after 45 minutes to bring me near to Alicante―Hannolo

We had a lot of luck that an Argentinian lady stopped for us. Noone of Spanish ppl even thought about stopping. Also the gas station there is pretty big but there was not a lot of traffic around 15:00 on Saturday.―Szymon
