Make sure you get a ride with someone who is ready to drop you at the highway petrol station or a good point on the national road towards Lisbon. While heading to Lisbon which is fairly easy, if you are able to get to a petrol station or a good spot on the national road in the direction of Lisbon, be patient and wait for a ride with someone who is going all the way to Lisbon. If you are impatient and accept a lift from just anyone, you may end up stuck in small towns or isolated spots which are difficult to get out of.
