== Heading to Hitching out ===== West towards [[Huelva]] or [[Portugal]] ==The entrance to the motorway is exactly beside the bus station, Plaza de Armas. Walk towards the motorway and stop after the bridge. On the right side of the street there is a huge zebra area. The way to Huelva is on the left and the area is on the right. One hitchhiker had a waiting time of 40 minutes. Thumbing from the intersection "Camas", which is the first one after the motorway cross, is a bad option. A hitchhiker who did try, ended up waiting for four hours.=
Option 2 petrol station
Follow the directions above. Then follow the Camino santiago trail through the fields after 40minutes you should see petrol station on your left. Pass underneath the highway and you should be there. Takes about an hour to walk. This petrol station serves both the highway and the route nacional and plenty of cars stop here going in all directions.
=== North towards [[Madrid]] ===
Take a bus to the airport of Sevilla. Get off at the airport stop and walk straight on towards the motorway. At the junction you will see a BP petrol station in your front. It's only a five minute walk, it's safe and you will find a ride for sure!
=== South towards [[Cadiz]] ===
Option 1
Another option, that works better on my opinion is the bus stop in the end of Avenida de Jerez before it became a motorway. There are plenty of space for cars, bus do not disturb you, because they are very rarely and usually this bus stop is empty. This street is more busy that the Avenida de la Raza, but cars goes not so fast, because before the bus stop is the traffic light. A sign will be very useful because after 200 metres road split into two direction. Better to wait direct car to Jerez or Cadiz or if you go further get out on the petrol station before Jerez (check the map).
Option 2
Take the bus to ''Betis Football Stadium'' (which is in the south of Sevilla, Betis street is in the center). Ask for the direction of the autopista. At the end of the ''Avenida de la Raza'' is a roundabout. Underpass the motorway to the second roundabout and try to get a ride. You can go via the motorway or the parallel road, which also works, since a lot of people want to avoid the motorway toll. But it's slow of course. A sign might be useful.
=== East towards [[Granada]] and [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===
'''Option 1:''' Take the bus no.29 from "El Prado" bus station (close to the Plaza de Espana) and get off after about 20minutes when you see CEPSA petrol station just few meters from the bus stop. From there try to get a ride to any petrol station further out of the city and on the A92 highway and there to get a longer ride, to [[Málaga|Malaga]], Granada or any other destination on East.
in this place, people.
'''Option 2:''' Catch the number 29 bus from the city centre to a bus stop appropriately called "Aux. Autovia Málaga (Drago)" in eastern Seville. Cross the footbridge and walk along the A92 highway for about 10 minutes until you reach a BP petrol station. There isn't always a footpath on the highway but you can walk one black away from it and rejoin very easily.
This BP petrol station is a popular refueling stop for people driving through Seville and is also strategically located near the on-ramp to the highway. You shouldn't have to wait too long.
=== Towards [[Cordoba]] ===
From the center, walk to Avenida de Kansas City (After RENFE San Justo train station) and on towards the Autovia del Sur. There will be a Carrefour on your right along with a petrol station. If you continue on there will be another petrol station - CEPSA - that you can stand in front of or wait at to ask for rides. The area is surrounded by trees which make it possible to camp and water is available if you ask inside the petrol station. Bring cardboard though as you might have to stay the night.
There is also a bus stop on the road between those two petrol stations, with some place for cars to stop after.
== Safety ==
Watch out at [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers as Sevilla has a history of thefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by. Never leave your stuff alone.
