This year's hitchgathering destination is a free camping place in the town-center of Sines, 160km South of Lisboa, in the Parque das Merendas with shade, free toilets, showers, water-supply and a beach only 10 minutes away! Check the [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.9560577869415&lon=-8.8763952255249&zoom=16 exact locations]. It is the spot with all the green, with a beach further North.
=== A Self-Organized Gathering===
The first hitchhikers to arrive can write a 6810 6-8-10 sign on a cardboard and gather within the camping spot. People These people can start getting to know each other and brainstorm on workshops, games , and activities you they want to be happening during the next 2-3 days of the festival.
The gathering is based on self-organization: even if there have been people contributing more actively than others, do not expect them to have all the answers and to know what it will happen next. There is no fixed programme , and you can contribute with your own proposals. Some of the ideas so far include a workshop on intuitive traveling, a scavanger hunt, massage therapy, the screening of the documentary on the first version of the gathering 888, community building games , etc.
In case you do not manage to find the gathering or for any urgency, here some numbers you can text or call:
