Hitchhiking out

West towards Granada, Almería or East towards Alicante
There is a petrol station called Santomera on the A-7 which is the last "big-one" heading west. Afterwards you only have like millions of small ones and often away from the motorway. It is not a AP anymore, only an A-road.
Take bus number 36 towards Santomera/La Matanza (there are only 3 buses per day going further than Santomera, 10:30, 17:30 and ..., otherwise you have to walk like 2-3 km north from Santomera on the MU-414). Ask the driver to drop you off at the roundabout directly after crossing under the A-7. Take the small road on that roundabout eastwards and choose which side you want to hitchhike (there is a little tunnel after like 200 m). The petrol station is like a 20 minute walk away.
PS: By the small road it means the one that is initially not paved and leads to the left becoming a paved road after 100 meters or so.

I tried to hitch hike from this petrol station on the 27. 01. 2012. Even if I took the wrong bus and I had to walk 1 and half an hour, it was easy to find and this is a big petrol station. I was incredibly lucky, because the first people who I asked took me on the whole way to Malaga :) I had a very good experience to hitch hike from there :)
West towards Granada, Almería
Take bus number 44D towards Alcantarilla that is actually going further on the N-340a (only like 3 a day, otherwise you have to walk from Alcantarilla, bus number 44). There is a petrol station on the N-340a where you have to get off and head towards the A-7 (bus stop 'Hotel la Paz'). Right after the bridge over the A-7 you have the petrol station and camping site where you can get east or west, but west should work better. It can take a little bit for there are not too many cars stopping. (location on map)
