:This option worked for me (Joel) too in June-15. Waited 20 minutes before I was picked up by some really friendly spaniards. The trouble for me was to get out of Spain (gave up after 4 hours) and I was stuck just close to the border to France in La Jonquera before I finally had to get a cab to Perpignan. Apparently -nobody- picks up hitch hikers just next to the border because this is a huge drug smuggling zone. Both rides I took before they clearly asked me if I had any drugs on me. I had no idea why but now I understand. My recommendation is that you find someone that goes all the way to France in Montcada / Girona, because believe me, there is absolutely nothing to see in La Jonquera. (In hindsight I should've just walked the remaining 5 kms to France where it's very easy to catch a ride.)
:It is a great spot! I used it 2 times (04/2014 and 08/2016). Once I went directly to Girona. Leaving the a highway in Spain - not a good idea! Coming back it's a nightmare... My advise is to look for a French car if you're going further. Also watch out for R2 trains as half of them after ''Passeig de Gracia'' are going to the final station instead of your direction. --[[User:Polski Matematyk|Polski Matematyk]]
