== Hitching Out ==
=== East towards [[Barcelona]], [[France]] ===
A general ''problem'' is that lots of people take the National Road next to the highway motorway because it's free. There it is not that good to hitchhike because there aren't as many petrol stations.
The [http://www.tuzsa.es/resources/mapaDiurno.pdf bus] #28 is not the best choice to hitchhike out of '''Zaragoza'''. You will get to a kind of good looking point with a petrol station and a red-light before the highway motorway but you will soon figure out that not even 10% of the cars go on the highwaymotorway. Most of them just cross it over on the bridge. Now [[User:Fabzgy|Fabzgy]] would rather try his luck with the bus 29 and get of as close to the cross of the city highwaymotorway.
Wladi tried the bus28-thing: It really doesn't work! Better to follow the "Ronda Hispanidad Z-30" (Wladi hasn't tried yet - finally he took the alsa.es-bus to Barcelona) to get to the highway motorway access.
By the way - the second petrol station is bigger but not really on the highwaymotorway. So try the first one after '''Zaragoza''' if your driver doesn't go far.
Barcelona --- Succesful hitchike after 3 hours ---
I first went to this round-about like intersection and stayed exactly after the first road sign saying BARCELONA - on the first lane. I stayed there for 3 hours and the closest succes success was some guy shouting out the window 'Where do you want to go' in spanish Spanish because I didn't have the sign posted and I was just signing by hand. This was completely useless because he just went with 80kms/h so I didn't have time to respond.
In my opinion spanish people do NOT hitch hike and tend to make fun of people who do.
Anyway, the roundabout intersection is here:
You can get on Av Alcalde Francisco Caballero with bus 44 until the intersection with Ronda Hispanidad and then walk all the way up on the bridge towards the Nord Este Autovia junction.
That whole area is an industrial site so there are a lot of trucks passing by and the chances are bigger with them than with normal cars. In the same time the problem with that junction is that trucks don't have place to stop but the guy who picked me up just stopped in the middle of the road so apparently that is not a big deal for _some_ of them at least.
As I found out from the driver, the best hours are around 10 AM and 6-7 PM because there are generally 2 shifts of transporting merchandise between zaragoza Zaragoza and barcelonaBarcelona.
I got picked up at 6.30 PM
He also told me almost all merchandise trucks are leaving from Mercazaragoza which is a little bit to the north from the junction I've hitchiked hitchhiked from, and that it's way better to go there and ask the drivers.
Mercazaragoza is here:
