A general ''problem'' is that lots of people take the National Road next to the motorway because it's free. There it is not that good to hitchhike because there aren't as many petrol stations.
The [http://www.tuzsa.es/resources/mapaDiurno.pdf bus] #28 is not the best choice to hitchhike out of '''Zaragoza'''. You will get to a kind of good looking point with a petrol station and a red-light before the motorway but you will soon figure out that not even 10% of the cars go on the motorway. Most of them just cross it over on the bridge. Now [[User:Fabzgy|Fabzgy]] would rather try his luck with the bus 29 and get of as close to the cross of the city motorway.
Wladi tried the bus28-thing: It really doesn't work! Better to follow the "Ronda Hispanidad Z-30" (Wladi hasn't tried yet - finally he took the alsa.es-bus to Barcelona) to get to the motorway access.
By the way - the second petrol station is bigger but not really on the motorway. So try the first one after '''Zaragoza''' if your driver doesn't go far.
Barcelona --- Succesful hitchhike after 3 hours ---
I first went to this round-about like intersection and stayed exactly after the first road sign saying BARCELONA - on the first lane. I stayed there for 3 hours and the closest success was some guy shouting out the window 'Where do you want to go' Repsol petrol station/service area in Spanish because I didn't have the sign posted and I was just signing by handLa Puebla de Alfinden. This was completely useless because he just went with 80kms/h so I didn't have time to respondBus 211 till (012) NII Rotonda P. In my opinion Spanish people do NOT hitchhike and tend to make fun of people who do.Anyway, the roundabout intersection is here:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Spain&sll=41.662974,-0.886288&sspn=0.035267,0.104628&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Zaragoza,+Arag%C3%B3n,+Spain&ll=41.666276,-0.879979&spn=0.00888,0.026157&z=16Then I got pissed off and considering the previous reviews about bus 28/29 I said I'm going to try something 'new' so I just walked randomly to this place: http://maps.google.comMalpica/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Spain&sll=41.662974,-0.886288&sspn=0.035267,0.104628&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Zaragoza,+Arag%C3%B3n,+Spain&ll=41.677277,-0.851325&spn=0.00111,0.00327&t=h&z=19Alfindén
He also told me almost all merchandise trucks are leaving from Mercazaragoza which is a little bit to the north from the junction I've hitchhiked from, and that it's way better to go there and ask the drivers.
Mercazaragoza is here:

He said any city in Spain should have a Merca<name-of-the-city> where the trucks get loaded with stuff and that from now on I should go directly there.Hope this information is useful to anyone in the future'''Option 3'''

Navarra 54 C.C. In Delicias in front of the same time Centro Cívico Delicias you can take the problem with that junction is that trucks don't have place ''bus 603''' to ''CASETAS'', leave the bus at the stop but ''Logroño 14'' (which is the guy who picked me up just stopped second stop in the middle vilage) and take the next steet to the right (Calle del Palacio) and head staight on for 200m, also go straight (2nd exit) at the roundabout and head on for another 500m. There ou will see some stairs to go over the trails at the railway station. Just continue till you reach the other side of the rails. Here you will encounter a small street on your left between two factories. On this road so apparently you see a roundabout after 100m that is not leads you over a big deal for _some_ bridge above the highway from where you can already see the petrol station. on the left side. Go on the other side of them at least.As I found out from the driver, bridge and continue on a small path parallel to the best hours are around 10 AM highway for about 800m and 6-7 PM because there are generally in the end you will see a walking enrance to the petrol station.
