→North towards Extremadura (Merida, Badajoz, etc.) & Castilla y León
Go to the Estacion de Autobuses Plaza de Armas (main station) and take the line bus 41 (confirmed) towards Camas and Santiponce. The ticket costs 1'55€ (c. 2016). Ask the bus driver for la "ultimata parada" (last stop) in Santiponce, from which it's a short (15 min.) walk to El Camino de Santiago (yay!) and also an on-ramp for the Highway 803 to Mérida. (Tip: Nihilobstat got super lucky because during the oranges season a man sets a stand right there to sell oranges, and some extra cars stop there because they know about it :-) )
Warning!: The annoying thing about this route is that you're mostly going to be village hopping - cars tend to be going from small village to small village - and you'll probably wind up waiting at some pretty random on-ramps where there's not a lot of traffic. Still, it's totally doable. 2016 trip took ~6 hours from Sevilla to Mérida.If you're stuck, it's useful to remember that there is a [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sevilla,+Espa%C3%B1a/@37.6323914,-6.1470638,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0xd126c1114be6291:0x34f018621cfe5648!8m2!3d37.3890924!4d-5.9844589 big roundabout] near El Garrobo in the middle where it's easier to find a ride. ''This trip was the only time when I lost faith in hitchhiking. The road was almost empty and none of the cars passing stopped, I walked for 2-3 hours until I got to the roundabout El Garrobo. Lola, February 2019.''
