Watch out at [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers as Sevilla has a history of thefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by. Never leave your stuff alone.
Take the bus to ''Betis Football Stadium'' (which is in the south of Sevilla, Betis street is in the center). Ask for the direction of the autopista. At the end of the ''Avenida de la Raza'' is a roundabout. Underpass the motorway to the second roundabout and try to get a ride. You can go via the motorway or the parallel road, which also works, since a lot of people want to avoid the motorway toll. But it's slow of course. A sign might be useful. Option 1
Another hitch-hiker tried both spots and agrees that Option 2 Take the bus to ''Betis Football Stadium'' (which is in the south of Sevilla, Betis street is in the center). Ask for the direction of the autopista. At the end of the second option ''Avenida de la Raza'' is bettera roundabout. In Underpass the first spot (after motorway to the second roundabout) there is an on ramp where it is possible and try to hitchget a ride. You can go via the motorway or the parallel road, but there's which also works, since a clear no pedestrians sign, so police would most likely tell you lot of people want to leave and avoid the traffic there is pretty poor as well (08motorway toll. But it's slow of course.2017)A sign might be useful.
NB: we tried this place with a girlfriend and had bad meetings with strange men , then a very nice couple picked us up to tell us this was the quarter : torreblanca , one of the most dangerous in sevilla...so pay attention in this place, people.
Marco: We spent 3 hours at this gas station and met only local people buying "Buthan Gas". After this time a young guy brought us back to the gas station we've seen before from the bus ("Elbag" or sth. like this). There where not many cars at the gas station, but with a sign we got a lift along the street. Take care to get a lift further than the next village.

'''Sevilla''' is a city in the south of [[Spain]] and the capital of the province of [[Andalusia]].
== Hitching out ==
=== North towards [[Madrid]] ===
Take a bus to the airport of Sevilla. Get off at the airport stop and walk straight on towards the motorway. At the junction you will see a BP petrol station in your front. It's only a five minute walk, it's safe and you will find a ride for sure!
=== South towards [[Cadiz]] ===
Another option, that works better on my opinion is the bus stop in the end of Avenida de Jerez before it became a motorway. There are plenty of space for cars, bus do not disturb you, because they are very rarely and usually this bus stop is empty. This street is more busy that the Avenida de la Raza, but cars goes not so fast, because before the bus stop is the traffic light. A sign will be very useful because after 200 metres road split into two direction. Better to wait direct car to Jerez or Cadiz or if you go further get out on the petrol station before Jerez (check the map).
=== East towards [[Granada]] and [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===
'''Option 1:''' Take the bus no.29 from "El Prado" bus station (close to the Plaza de Espana) and get off after about 20minutes when you see CEPSA petrol station just few meters from the bus stop. From there try to get a ride to any petrol station further out of the city and on the A92 highway and there to get a longer ride, to [[Málaga|Malaga]], Granada or any other destination on East.
'''Option 2:''' Catch the number 29 bus from the city centre to a bus stop appropriately called "Aux. Autovia Málaga (Drago)" in eastern Seville. Cross the footbridge and walk along the A92 highway for about 10 minutes until you reach a BP petrol station. There isn't always a footpath on the highway but you can walk one black away from it and rejoin very easily.
There is also a bus stop on the road between those two petrol stations, with some place for cars to stop after.
