====Option 2: Castellbisbal====
Take a ''Renfe'' train to ''Castellbisbal'' station from either ''Barcelona Sants'' (Line C4 to ''St.Vicente de Calders'', platform 1, buy a 2 zone ticket), ''Plaça Catalunya'' or ''Arc de Triomf''.Important note: information below on directions needs to be updated by someone who can give a clearer description. Directions:Directions: Leave the station to the left, above the railroad and take the next small street to the right. You will arrive at the petrol station within 10 to 15 minutes. If you are trying to get to Madrid and you use this route, stay on the side going south and try putting Lleida on your sign, because most people are not going through Zaragoza. For orientation: you can see the service station from the train on your right just before you reach ''Castellbisbal''.

:Since 2008 there is a new high speed train track ("AVE") running almost parallel to the motorway which has big safety fences on both sides. You now have to take the new bridge which even has a pedestrian walk-way.
Experiences::A personal experience: Since the new high speed train was created and the fences are there, it is very difficult to find the track! I was walking all the tracks for an hour with my heavy bag and I could not find the track! I could see it but I just could not find a way to get there... unless you are able to cross the fence. In the end, I just could not find a way and I asked 2 very nice ladies to drive me there. I was fortunate I met them, or else, I would have to take the train back to Barcelona and go to Option 1. Also, there was very little traffic heading West to [[Zaragoza]] and not even [[Lleida]]. Most were going South or North... no idea why. Very good spot if you want to go South to Valencia. If you would like to hitch to [[Morocco]], the carpark is full of Moroccons stopping for a break there at night. Many cars are very full though but there are some with space.
