The spot is good, you can see drivers from both roads and they are driving slow. It's still before the highway sign (so legal). Anyway we tried twice before success. In the end we removed all signes and got a driver who was willing to drive us to the next gas station on A-8.―Ellaella

Bad luck, I wait for about two hours on my way to France, most of the drivers are locals, or go to Bilbao. After a while I decided to ask for Bilbao, so that I could go on from there.―StefanXsupertramp

We waited for about one hour to with "Santander" on the name plate, and we caught a ride along the northern coast to Ornion, I would rate it as average as the driver, who stopped immediately rushed that he can not stop there (although we were waiting just before the highway sign).Quite heavy traffic and easily accessible from the center of Bilbao to metro station Santurtzi really counts

There are two gasolineras..one of them in direction Santander. A lot of inner-city traffic. In the end the workers of the gasstation kicked us of. We went to to the entrance of the autovia and we get a lift within 10 min.―Anonymous

Big gas station and restaurant, many cars. Lots of trucks stop here at night, so going with them early in the morning might be a good idea. Good for hitching along he coast.―Anonymous

Seemed to be mostly local traffic but I'm sure you could get a ride to Santander with a bit of luck

There is a wild path between the highway and the fence. If you are walking from the local road, the road starts behind a bench near a high-voltage pole. The road begins here 43.329373,-3.070080―ury

The path is now blocked by a locked gate, but it’s low and easy to chuck backpack and climb over. There appears to be somebody squatting on the property on the other side. You’ll have to climb another fence to get out to get to the petrol station. It’s chain link with one line of barbed wire, but decrepit and can climb. Sign on petrol station side says private property.―Ellen

The description of the path was really helpful, it is really spiky but totally worth it, take care with the steep slope to the side―Nanuk

The way to this big petrol station in direction Santander: Go to the bus stop Los heros, from there cross the bridge, turn right and walk aprox 300m until you reach the high waltage mast on your right side (it's visible on the map). Turn right to it thru the grass, on your left is a fence - if you follow the fence - there is trodden path through the bushes - you will reach the petrol station over the exit to the highway easily in 3 minutes (with a bit of scratch legs - but we are not sissies right:D). This is the fastest way. Then took me 30min to catch a car but its about luck. It's most convenient spot to hh out of Bilbao.―pergl

(Direction Bilbao) I am not sure about that because me and my friend ended up finding a ride to Laredo thanks to a lady we met earlier in the day (the one that brought us back from a bad spot to the city), but some locals suggested us this place. There is a gas station on the other side of the road and some traffic lights. We asked both with the thumb and with a sign―Marco

Amazing spot. Got a ride very fast. Cantabria in general works great for hitch hiking from my experience. Unlike Asturias :)―Anonymous

There is some space before the roundabout for the cars to pull over. However it's not the easiest hitchhikers place. Spaniards don't really want to take strangers:( patience required―ury

A lot of cars here, mainly local cars but also enough people going out of the city. We could have hitched to Barcelona, but we needed to go to the Netherlands so ended up being dropped before Bilbao.―Anonymous
