Go to Plaza de Colon and find the line E bus stop. You have to go to the prison stop, and not all the E buses reach this place. From monday to friday the one at 2pm and the one at 7:45pm are ok, and at weekends you have up to six buses a day to there. To ensure, ask the driver wether this bus reach the prison("¿Este autobus llega al centro penitenciario?"), and if not, ask for the next that do ("¿Cual es el proximo que llega alli?"). The bus will cost 1,10€. Use the time in the bus to make a good banner with your destination, you will use it in a while.

When you leave the bus, with the prison at your back, walk to your right to reach the motorway. Once you are there, cross the bridge over it, and in the round about at the other side, if you turn to your right, you will see two lanes in front of you, separated by a fence: The one at the right of the fence is the motorway exit (ignore it); the other one, at the left of the fence, is a service road. Walk across it for 1,5km to reach a petrol station, and do show your recently made banner, since all the traffic in this lane cames from the station you are going to, and if you are lucky you can save some time and energy.

If you have or make friends in Cordoba, ask them to take you to the petrol station near the prison. To leave Cordoba from "scratch" is difficult, and there are very few buses to reach the prison. And if you find the right people, they will be helpful with you.

In the petrol station, spend one (perhaps two) hours to find a long ride, at least to Madrid if you go there. It is a very good place to hitchhick, and many cars and truck are going to the north of spain. After this time, if you feel like that try to reach another petrol station, but DO avoid any ride to Montoro. There is a bullshit petrol station there, in nowhere, and if somebody takes you there you will spend hours to leave.
