: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 was going to France with Gironasign. Leaving a highway in Spain - not a good idea! Coming back it's is 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 goes to the final station instead of your direction. --[[User:Polski Matematyk|Polski Matematyk]]
