Santiago de Compostela is a city in Spain.
Hitching out
Getting out can be difficult as there are only two roads that go out of the city, leading to many different directions.
All directions: La Coruña, Santander, San Sebastian, Portugal
The place indicated in the map, at the western entrance on the highway, is a good one, a roundabout at the entrance of the highway, it works for all directions. To get there just walk out from the city, or ask the driver of the airport bus (it leaves from zona nueva and bus terminal) to drop you off close to here (1 €, some Spanish will be useful to explain what you want).
Sleep
Just outside of Santiago is a small town called "Monte do Gozo". Some pilgrims stop there before entering the city. It's a huge center and has almost 2000 beds. There is a frequent bus line that will take you to walking distance of the town centre. Apparently it works with donations.
