Okay spot - Nowhere for cars to stop but good traffic flow towards Gijón. Wait for the red light and ask the cars at the lights.―Anonymous

Perfect place to go to Santander or Bilbao. There's enough space for stopping cars and the traffic is very fluid. Between 15 to 60 min.―Anonymous

It's a good place to stay. There are loads of cars passing by and you should have no problem to catch a ride if you want to go to Bilbao o Santander. I was waiting for 20-30min until some guys took me to the next gas station. There I had more luck.―Mochilero

I waited there for a whole afternoon and couldn’t leave. All the cars seemed to be going to Oviedo. I ended up finding a ride backwards to a petrol station on the highway the next day and I was off in less than 30 minutes.―Grégoire

Easy to reach by foot and car.Also possible getting there from the other site of the autovia by a tunnel under the road.

If you want to go to Gijón, that spot is perfect. There is a traffic light a hundred meters in front of the on-ramp. You are allowed to go directly to the on-ramp, but I would recommend you to just wait at the side of the road with a side in your hands. Made the best experience I ever had at this point, however I was just lucky I guess.Si quieres ir a Gijón este punto es perfecto. Esperé ni un minuto ;)

It is good place if you go to Oviedo. Just stay on roundabout or before on Avda. de Portugal and you can be picked up in some minutes. I tried to hitchhike from there to A Coruna too, but with no luck for almost an hour.―Anonymous

a good place to go to avilés.―Anonymous

there's a roundabout and a gas station near both the entrance and exit of the A8. i would reccommend standing with a sign at the roundabout, as the station doesn't enjoy much traffic and you will also be visible to cars coming from the town if you choose the roundabout.in general, a good place to go to gijón, might be a little harder to get to avilés, which is where you need to be headed if you plan a longer trip, as the next service station is just before avilés.

A very goo place to have access to a big roundabout (that goes in many direction), enough place to park, and to be visible from far away.―Anonymous
