Initially, I started waiting near the petrol station, but many cars and trucks were passing through me because they passed through the left or through the right. Then I decided to move to the converging road where they just go to the highway. I had a sign and I was waiting there for maybe around 40 minutes, 45 minutes.Then I thought that maybe they were not stopping because they already had some velocity. Some of the drivers told me that they were going to another direction because they could see my signs (France & Jonquera).
So then I decided to go again to the petrol area. I started asking people around both while fueling the cars and also in the resting area. Lady from a track offered me to bring me to a nearby point, but I rejected and then just afterwards a French car offered me a trip to France so I joined. It turned out that they were going to one of the nearest villages to my destination so I was amazingly fortunate.

I got picked up be a Spanish couple. They saw me and asked if I needed a lift to France (always have the sign in the Hand) and I told them yes. I went really fast so it's a good starting spot for the Journey.―TomTom787

It's an okayish spot: there's this place to stand and cars can stop (either close to where you are or quickly going inside the gas station). The roundabout exit to the highway gives way both to Perpignan and to Girona/Barcelona.We (M&F) couldn't get a ride after waiting for an hour in the early afternoon, holding a sign that said "Barcelona". We didn't ask in the gas station, though, but we saw many people stop there, including trucks.

Arrived at the spot in the evening. We asked anyone who stopped but no one wanted to take us, either the cars where full or there where going to the wrong direction. After 1-2 hours we decided to call it a day and sleep there. Also not the best place to spend the night, it’s really loud and bright everywhere. In the morning we tried again, after another two hours we found a German guy who took us all the way to Valencia. It’s a tough spot. All in all there are a lots of cars but most of them a already fully packed. But maybe if you speak spanisch it’s easier to get a ride.At the end still ok because we are two woman and always felt safe.

Few Cars passing but mostly people on holiday with full cars. We asked a lot of people until 2 spanisch people took us with there van near Barcelona. Not the best spot, you need a lot of time and endurance.―Tina031

Most drivers were local, but exceptionally friendly. People kept stopping to apologize they were getting off at the next exit, one guy circled back to offer food. Asked a swiss number plate and he offered a ride as far as the swiss border. I opted to get out south of Lyon, but should have stayed with him until east side of Lyon.―Streamrider

So far best spot on the journey from Madrid to Barcelona. But probably got lucky with ride in 10min. I was here at morning around 9:00.Great visible spot to stand with sign and under tree with shade.
Not so busy but some flow of car is there.
I got there with bus 214 from the city. Don't take cards, better have cash in coins.

Lots of people offered a ride, but a short one. The fourth one offered to take me to Figueres and I took it.―friki

I was going for a hike on the next town, that's why I stood at the roundabout on the edge of town. It took very little till a car stopped , although the spot is not ideal to pull over. The driver told me it's better to just stand at the gas station, that people do pick you up.―Mandarina787

I tried hitchhiking at the road exiting the village for around 20 minutes but no one picked me up, so I gave up and went to the bus stop. While waiting there, a group of three british friends offered me a ride to Barcelona on their camper van, which is where I was going. Does it count as hitchhiking if I didn't even ask for it?―Mandarina787

Convenient spot. All cars leaving the station pass by you.The description on the website for the way to get here from the station is spot on. Took me 20 mins to walk. Had a roller bag with me, no issues, except a 40m dirt path.

We stood on a gas station without thumb or sign and some nice catalunyan guy asked us where are we going, we told him we need to get to the countryside so we can sleep and he offered to us that he will took us to his home so we can build up a tent on his garden. We were lucky, it was evening and a weekday, Lots of truck drivers and I think it is not the best spot..―Anonymous

2 people.We haven’t even finished writing our sign, just randomly waved to some guys. They took us directly to La Jonquera. Seems to be fantastic spot. It is very easy to get there, just use public transportation. We took n23 bus and paid 2,65e for a single ticket. Don’t listen to google maps, you can get to the station by crossing under the bridge. Use satellite from your google maps. Signs saying that camping is forbidden there, but we pitched our tent without any problems. Police even saw us in the morning with a tent. But be careful, maybe we were lucky. We don’t know if it’s safe place or not.
Enjoy your baguette in France 🐸🥖

2 people.We got there a lift straight to Barcelona, seems to be a good place to reach Valencia as well. We standed on the bus stop, maybe 2 minutes from the gas station. Not so much traffic, many locals, but it should be possible. If someone going to Castalla, they can drop you there. Really quiet area, nice place to have your picnic or camping. Affordable prices in the gas station shop (for ex 6eggs for 1.65e). There is restaurant as well. Enjoy.
