You can also try to get a ride to the [[Costa Brava]] - there you will find many train stations with trains to Barcelona. There is a cheap train service along the coast all the way to Barcelona (as of 2018, the ticket for the longest distance was 6,30 euro).

=== From France ===
When on the main motorway from France to Barcelona, some cars are being stopped at the border for identity and luggage check. When going to Spain (Catalunya), there are several big rest areas on that road. You can either ask your driver to let you out in towns (with train stations) and cities along that road, such as [[Girona]] or [[Rubí]] and [[Sant Cugat]] (latter two are better options), or get out of the car at a rest area and wait for another ride to Barcelona. A train ticket generally cost you between around €2,20 (Sant Cugat/Rubí) and €10 (Girona). On the AP-7 highway you can jump out next to Hospital General train station
If you get dropped on the coast road leading to Barcelona (11) it should be really easy to keep hitching through the towns and villages until the city. I did the last 60km on this road in 4 or 5 short lifts but never waited more than 2/3 mins, just hopped out of each car and thumbed the next one almost instantly wherever I was dropped.
You can also ask the driver to leave you at the junction by the university (''Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona''). There is a [[roundabout]] right by the motorway ramp. The only challenge is that your driver has to be going from the junction of ''Barbera de valles'' on the right site of the motorway as it gets split - otherwise you leave the car at ''Castellbisbal'' [[rest area|service station]].
