You can just wait on the side of the road, right before traffic lights. A big banner with your destination will help.
Be carefull careful because in Spain to hitchhick hitchhikr in motorways and its entrances is forbidden, so do not get too close to the motorway if you want to avoid problems.
If you are going to [[Madrid]], [[Granada]] via Jaen, or [[Jaen]], you can ask for a ride to the petrol station near the prison. Is a very very good place to get a long ride to wherever.
Walk to "Puente de San Rafael" and cross it. When you reach a roundabout, turn to your right to Avenida de Cadiz, and continue following the right sidewalk. In 500m you will reach a Repsol petrol station. 500m more away, there is another station (Campsa). Bus line 9, "Huelva" stop, is very close to both stations. From one of both try to get a ride outside Cordoba, to the next petrol station in the motorway or to "La Carlota", a town 30km away from Córdoba.
Early in the morning there will be a lot of traffic goint going outside Cordoba, but it decreases as it is getting late. In the afternoon/evening, almost all traffic will be local. If you desperate, walk about 1 km more down a bridge and you will reach an industrial estate. Try to find the entrance to the motorway, make a good banner and try from here. Consider to write "Proxima gasolinera" (next petrol station) at the back of your destination, to increase possibilities. Remmember Remember that in spainSpain, to hitchhick hitchhike in motorways and it entrances is forbidden. Take your time to understand traffic flows, since the estate is chaotic. Considering all this, be strategic to choose a good place.

===== Option 2 =====
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 Monday to friday Friday the one at 2pm and the one at 7:45pm are okOK, and at weekends you have up to six buses a day to there (have a look to the [http://www.aucorsa.es/uploads/GaleriaFicherosPublica/Lineas/Tabla_Horarios_Linea_E.pdf timetable]). To ensure, ask the driver wether whether her/his 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 EUR 1,10€.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 comes from the station you are going to, and if you are lucky you can save some time and energy.
===== Option 3 =====
===== For any option =====
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 hitchhickhitchhike, and many cars and truck are going to the north of spainSpain. After this time, if you feel like that try to reach another petrol station, but DO '''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.
