[[GranadaUser:jorenvanveen|jorenvanveen]] and [[Sevilla]]his buddy Ruben had more difficulties, waiting 6 hours, either by before getting a small ride to Castellón. You have to take the bus or train to Sagunt and walk like 3.5 km south-south-west - ''national motorwayCarrer de la Pau' (A7) ', ''Cami de Gausa'', ''Carrer de Lliria''. You should look it up on Google Maps or OpenStreetMaps to not get lost the first time you go there, because it is all through very tiny roads!

;First optionAnother way to travel North or maybe South (at least to Valencia) is to take the train towards Castellon, and get off the train at ''Les Valls'' (note that few trains stop at this station.) There is a petrol Peaje section on the AP-7 around 250m from the station right on which can be accessed by walking over the A7 close to Saguntbridge and down a dirt track. This location works very well, where you can get on either sideand is well lit, depending which direction you want meaning hitching at night is possible. A ride to go. Heading north Barcelona or France is very easyeasily possible from here, normally it doesnand guarantees a faster ride than taking the N340. The toll workers don't take long like seeing people hitchhiking on the motorway, of course, but you can compromise by waiting on the lawn next to get the toll building. Quite a good lift, maybe even directly few truckers seem to Francestop for a pee there, heading south is more difficult.
