== Hitching out ==
=== South towards [[Bonifacio]] and East towards [[Sartène]], [[Propriano]] and [[Ajaccio]] ===Either from the center or the port of Porto-Vecchio it's around 20 minutes walking to the best hitchhiking spot. There might also be buses.
==== Step 1 ====
From the port of Porto-Vecchio, you follow the road that runs next to the sea, called ''Avenue Georges Pompidou'' until you see the big '''E. Leclerc''' hyper market. This will be around 10 min walking.
From the city center you take the ''Rue Giudice de Cinarca'', the same road where you can find the ''office du tourisme'' and walk down the road until you find a roundabout with a camping (La Matonara) to your left. Instead take the first cut to the right and after 100 meter you will find the same '''E. Leclerc''' as I already mentioned.
Either from ==== Step 2 ====From the center or hypermarket '''E. Leclerc''' you go to the port of Porto-Vecchio itbig crossing and take the ''s Rue Vincetellu d'Istria'' (D368) to the next crossing. This will again be around 20min 5 minutes walking to . When you arrive at this second big crossing you will find signs telling you where the best HH spotroad is heading. ItYou take the '''N198''s not adviced to take a bus for that short a distance, I don't even think there are buses. Just face the heat for a short amount of timetowards [[Bonifacio]] and [[Ajaccio]].

From the city center you take the ''Rue Giudice de Cinarca'', the same road where you can find the office du tourisme and walk down the road untill you find a carrefour (round crossing point) with a camping (La Matonara) to your left. Instead take the first cut to the right and after 100 meter you will find the same '''E.Leclerc''' as I already mentioned. '''Step 2'''From the hypermarked '''E.Leclerc''' you go to the big carrefour and take the ''Rue Vincetellu d'Istria'' '''D368''' to the next carrefour. This will again be around 5 minutes walking. When you arrive at this second big carrefour you will find signs telling you where the road is heading. You take the '''N198''' towards [[Bonifacio]] and [[Ajaccio]].  '''==== Step 3'''====After 2 minutes walking next to the '''N198''' their is a possibility for cars to stop, so that's a good HH hitchhiking spot. But if you walk 3 more minutes, to the next small carrefour crossing you will see an other sign to Bonifacio/Ajaccio. This is where the highway really starts and all cars are going in this direction, stand in the beginning of this exit when the cars don't reach a high speed. This is definitily definitely a really good HH hitchhiking spot and I found a ride after 5 minutes.
=== Nord towards [[Bastia]] ===
 Use the same steps 1 and 2 as I discribed described for HH hitchhiking towards the South or the East. The only difference is that this time from the second big carrefour crossing you take the '''N198''' towards [[Bastia]]. I have not HH toward the Nord so I can't give more info at the moment (summer 2012), but I know for sure the The road towards the nord north with final destination [[Bastia]] starts here.
== Places to avoid ==
 
Every bar in Porto-Vecchio if you live on a budget! If you want to have a beer don't expect to find anything under 3,5 euro, same go's for soda drinks and some times even water. But this is the same in the whole of Corsica.
== Accommodation and Sleep ==
 I have not slept in the wild, but on There is a camping site close to the city center. It's written down in step 1. It's around 8euro 8 € for one person and a tent for one per night. It's a small camping, place and people are not friendly and I would give it a 5/10, but they have a pool and after one of Corsica's beautifull beautiful but demanding hikes thats that's all you need.
== Other useful info ==
Buy your drinks at the E. Leclerc hypermarket, get a heat protecting bag (1 €) and buy some ice. You will save a load of money and it will taste even better. And try to get your bag filled up with ice from the fish department, that saves you 3-4 € on ice.
