== Hitching Out ==
=== South or North, towards [[Valencia]], [[Girona]], [[Perpignan]], [[France]] ===
'''Option 1:''' Take train [http://www.fgc.net/accesible/cat/viatjar/s2.htm S2] from Barcelona Plaça Catalunya to Sabadell-Rambla, and get off at station St. Joan (2 zones). It is another 10–15 minute walk to a good restarea rest-area at the AP7, the main highway to the North (Girona and France in direction of Perpignan) or South.
Get out of the station on the left side, and take the road that follows the railtrackrail-track. After a leftturnleft-turn, take the third street to the right and follow this until you get on C/ de Bellaterra. You should be able to spot the restarea rest-area after less then a 5 minute walk from here. To hitch South, stay on that side, to hitch North, take the footbridge.

Alternatively, it might be easier to stay in the train one more stop, get off at Bellaterra. When out of the station, walk towards the left following the main street. You will then reach a bridge over the motorway. After the bridge, turn left at the next street that goes parallel to the motorway. After 200 meter and a small tunnel you are at the same rest-area.
'''Option 2:''' Take the Renfe train to Castellbisbal station from Barcelona Sants (Line C4 to St. Vicente de Calders, platform 1, buy a 2 zone ticket), Plaça Catalunya or Arc de Triomf. Walk back up the railtracks in the direction that you came from, for about ten minutes until you see a service station on your left. To hitch North, cross the road via the footbridge. To hitch South, stay on that side of the road.
