This roundabout is on the main path out of Segovia towards Madrid, traffic is slow-moving and has plenty of space to pull over in the service station. It was well-lit at night, however it will probably be really hot during the day. It is a ~40 minute walk from the main destinations of Segovia. We may have been luckier than normal as the eclipse brought a lot of Madrid residents to Segovia.―Anonymous

Redlight with shade in the afternoon oft a hot summer day in august, easily possible to interact nonverbal with the drivers when u have a sign - maybe write the Name of the autopista that u want to get on, i needed to A4 to Andalucia, direction Córdoba, where i was passed at a gas Station after 10 minutes―Freddiemercury

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

On journay from Barcelona this was my transfer station. It seems all cars from Barcelona to Madrid need to go on this way.On gas station is also restaurant.
Exit ramp is great long and cars are slow.

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.

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

Bad spot eastwards. Too many Ubers here. Eventually youth football coach picked me up to get me away from there. I guess he also did a little detour to bring me to a good gas station to go further towards Zaragosa.―TillWenke

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

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.
