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

We (two guys) walked here from Lloret de mar. Its a bout a 20 minute walk but one of the best spots to get to Barcelona. Good Traffic with loads of space to pull over. We were picked up by a really fun guy on his way to a business meeting, He offered us a job which we had to decline sadly.We used a Barcelona sign.

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

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

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.

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 🐸🥖

We first tried at the gas station, that was really bad, this spot is really good when there are no trucks parked there. The moment the trucks left we had a ride pretty quick―Daveswek

Asked around towards Girona. Tried to sleep in the nearby forest - cant recommend because of wild boars. Driver was smoking cannabis, a bit of a desperate move on our side.―TillWenke
