Amazing spot. After just about 10 Minutes a couple brought me to San Cugat del Valles. Stand there with a Barcelona sign.―JamonWithRamon

We (2 people) got a ride to Barcelona after waiting about 100 minutes and asking people at the parking area and gas station. Most people were heading south or towards Zaragoza. Still, it’s a good spot because you can easily talk to people and there’s a steady flow of cars.―ninchenbienchen

This is a good spot and me and my LoVE with our dog were suprised with tha car that took us. I was playing some music on my viola so maybe that helped?! Who knows…;)―NTKtriohitch

Perfect spot. Sunday morning, lots of international and long distance cars, going in all directions. Couldn't find cardboard so just thumbed, and got a ride all the way to Barcelona, my ultimate destination.―friki

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

Not that great of a spot. Hitchiking in early November (2 guys) going south, waited for 3 hours before a Ukrainian guy took us to our destination, Peniscola. Although I don't know what would be a better spot to leave Barcelona.―Anonymous

This petrol station is surprisingly quiet and pleasant (compared to the rest of the Jonquera industrial area). A constant flow of cars stopping by, but not super busy either. The right amount of traffic. Eventhough I had a sign saying "Figueres", where I was planning to take a train, a middle aged french couple took me all the way to Barcelona, my destination.―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.

Was just standing at the end of the station because I'm lazy, sign Barcelona. Still got a ride within 20 minutes. Less friendly cars than before, but lots of them (very good steady flow, it was also lunch time).―friki

Stayed under the bridge with a "sur" sign and occasionally went to the gas station to ask people, nad no luck with both of them and decide to just signal without the thumb which somewhat worked as i got a ride in 10 minutes bur for ~10km only―Sarker

Good spot to go to the airport(why'd tou do that) but terrible to go anywhere else, waited for 2 hours standing with a sign and occasionally asking people on the gas station. Literally tge inly good thing about this spot is that i was given a bottle of water while writing my sign.―Sarker

When i was dropped off by the Mallorcans i was initially nervous, it didnt look like much, but this seemingly empty (albeit very pretty) view point is a surprisingly excellent spot!You can stand under one of palm trees, behind the barrier before the exit from the view point, be in perfect view of the drivers and in the shade; functionally hitching directly off of the road! I got a ride in under five minutes from a fantastic Catalan man called Juan-Ramon, who took me all the way to Barcelona!
My aim for the day was Tarragona, so being able to make it all the way to Barcelona was absolutely amazing!
In Barcelona i would meet a Greek girl and we would take the train together to Montserrat for El Dia De San Joan..

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.
