Loads of families at this gas station, so not alot cars with room. Alot of foreigners also and people speak quite good english and are mostly friendly. Mostly people are heading to Bilbao or along the north coast but at the end we got a ride to Madrid―Jouskapouska

A small place between parked cars for cars to stop, they slow down just before traffic light. A lot of cars but no one stopped until we got our ride to Burgos, after 1 hour with a sign (2 hitchhikers with a dog and big bags)―Anonymous

The gas station is quite busy and almost everyone goes to madrid. You can find toilets, showers (broken atm) and a small shop with chargers. The prices are the usual. There is a small restaurant but not many people come to eat. Most stop for a quick pause as there is a small park nearby.Its as good as it gets for spain, many people are freaked out by hitchhiking but we managed to catch a ride to madrid within 30min.

In five minutes two cars stopped. One going towards Boadilla del Monte and one going to Guadalajara. Was trying to go to Madrid, if I had waited a tiny bit more I would have gotten one I think. Solo female, Saturday afternoon.―friki

University. In weekdays within the school year, you'll have people going through all day, to Galapagar, Madrid, Las Rozas, Torrelodones... Forgot my wallet after class and gave it a go, should be easy as long as you look "normal".―friki

I waited here for 2 hours and a half before giving up. It was on a Monday morning so maybe not the best Time to find a car. I tried to go Burgos the spot is ok just before the highway with some space to stop.―cousquare

the station in good, a decent amount of carsquite a lot of locals...i was going in direction of caceres and on thursday afternoon (from 3PM ) it took me 3h to find a loft to xanadu, a big shopping centre near by (the guy told me was better from there, and after 3h i just took it)
there, in my opinion, was worse, cus being on the other side of the A5, everyone was going towards madrid
i also tried at the roundabout but with no luck
so i went back here, slept on a tent behind the station (its pretty chill), and next morning, after 1h (10-11AM), i found a lift to the station at the 88km, with a restaurant that seems better
lets see

Tried this spot last january, the only ride i got after a few hours of asking people was to the next gas station! Not recommended...but worth a shot if you have time, esp in the summer. good luck!―Bschramm27

It would be better to jump off at Getafe Industrial (see the map)―Anonymous
40.2971, -3.69207
Getafe Industrial perfect station to reach this gasoline. From station to there you need 15-20 mins walk. don't be late because there is not much traffic. And cars usually don't drive long distance.Good luck!

You can get to this petrol station (repsol) by public transport+on foot. Get a cercanías (metropolitan train) from Atocha or a metro (around 2 euros), jump of at El Casar. Walk to the east for about 20 minutes.January 2011 they were building a new neigbourhood, but it was easy to jump the fence and cross without anybody saying anything.
