;First option
;Second option There is a new-built petrol station just a little north of the division of the motorway into {{Aes|A-7}} and {{Aes|AP-7}}, close to Torrent. Take metro line 1 direction Villanueva de Castellón and get off at ''Realón'' or ''Sant Ramon'' stations, which are about a 25 minute ride from centre. There you have to go direction ''Santa Apolonia'', check before on [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Carretera+desconocida&daddr=Carretera+desconocida+to:Carretera+desconocida&hl=es&geocode=FWz2WAId-N74_w%3BFSA0WQIdUIX4_w%3BFVJSWQIdnvX4_w&mra=ls&dirflg=w&doflg=ptk&sll=39.397668,-0.475588&sspn=0.030444,0.055189&ie=UTF8&ll=39.398,-0.473785&spn=0.030444,0.055189&z=14 GoogleMaps] or [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMaps], it's about a 4 km walk. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] got a ride south directly to Granada, generally it's {{good}} regarding Spanish petrol stations. bailamoooos got a ride 100km south to Oliva, and from there reached Murcia by the end of day. [[User:Kossabossa|Kossabossa]] got a ride in about an hour to Murcia, from where it was really hard to find a ride to Granada, so ended up spending the night in Murcia and using a blablacar the next day. Probably it depends also on the season and time of the week. (Wednesday, 27 September 2017) Third option

→North or South
=== North or South ===
There is a petrol station right on the A7 close to Sagunt, where you can get on either side, depending which direction you want to go. Heading north is very easy, normally it doesn't take long to get a good lift, maybe even directly to France, heading south is more difficult. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] experienced both ways to be good. [[User:jorenvanveen|jorenvanveen]] and his buddy Ruben had more difficulties, waiting 6 hours, 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 - ''Carrer de la Pau'', ''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! Watch out that you don't get on the BP petrol station on the V-23. [http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/39.6664/-0.3090 osm]
Another 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 Peaje section on the AP-7 around 250m from the station which can be accessed by walking over the bridge and down a dirt track. This location works very well, and is well lit, meaning hitching at night is possible. A ride to Barcelona or France is easily possible from here, and guarantees a faster ride than taking the N340. The toll workers don't like seeing people hitchhiking on the motorway, of course, but you can compromise by waiting on the lawn next to the toll building. Quite a few truckers seem to stop for a pee there, and you can ask them for a lift to the next service station.
