You can also get to the service station by taking a Renfe train to Montcada-Ripollet. Get off the train and go forward, then turn left and cross the C-17 highway by the pedestrian overpass. Then go forward until you see the railway. You'll have to climb up a waist-high brick wall and cross the tracks. On the other side there is a nasty rabitz fence but luckily it has a hole in it (it was there in 2015 and it is still here in 2019). After that cross the C-33 highway by another pedestrian overpass and here you are! The walk will take you about 20-25 min.

==== Option 1: C33 Motorway service station Montcada ====
Take a Renfe train from ''Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia'' (there are even more trains from ''Barcelona-Sants'') on the R2 or R2 Nord line, direction: Granollers Centre (R2) or Macanet-Massanes (R2 Nord). Get off at station ''Montcada i Reixac''. (This train will take you about 20 minutes and costs €2,20 (2018)). Exit the train station to the left, through the second exit in the direction of the train. Walk under the railways and pass through the station building. At the other side you will find yourself at a small shopping district with a one way street. Follow it to the right. Pass the church, traffic lights, and cross the pedestrian bridge. Once over the bridge, turn left and follow the fenced in school playground around to the right. You should now see the motorway above you and parking below the motorway. Continue following the motorway until you see the road dip down and to the right under the railroad. Go under the bridge. Up ahead and to your left you will see a very broken vertical turnstile and a sign saying "forbidden" (see a picture here: http://imgur.com/MLxJc29). Ignore the sign and follow the foot path to the right, to the service road along the motorway. This service road goes right into the back of a Gasolinera Galp Montcada Norte petrol station.<br/ >
Hitch there by asking around, or with a sign where the exits converge. Keep in mind that the toll is only two kilometers ahead, so try for shorter distances to get past the toll and onto a different rest stop. [[User:sovereign|Sovereign]], after waiting for 15 minutes (standing, with sign) at the Galp station was told by an employee to fly a sign with "Girona" instead of "FR". Girona works far better and there is another station before and after Girona.
I do not recommend this option. I spent 7 hours in the sun, switching from the ramp (which factually is.a.perfect spot) to the gas station with no luck. I speak spanish so I asked everyone that I saw at the gas station, they were all mainly going to the nearby villages.or to the airport, and several truckers let me know that most people take the A7, especially truckers.

The same problem, i spent here whole day and have to sleep in the tent behind gas station. Two girls came in 30 min after me, took a car in 20 min. Drivers gave me some money but did not take without explanation. Rustam Ukraine 31/08/2019
