- July 2019: I walked along the motorway with a friend of mine, it is just 1-1.5 km and most of the way (80-90%) you are protected by some security on the side of the motorway and needn't walk next to the cars.
→Toward South Vitoria
=== Toward South [[Vitoria]] ===
This option worked for me to return to Barcelona, but could be useful to go to Logroño, Burgos, Madrid, Zaragoza, etc.
From Bilbao, the main motorway leaving to the south is A8 and then it becomes Ap-68. I tried to access it from Arrigorriaga city which is connected with the Ap-68, by taking the train to this place (1,95€ on december 2016), only 15 min from Abanda Station on the main center of Bilbao. There is a gas station in that on the motorway at the level of that city, but is unaccessible from there unless you go by car. Otherwise it would force you to walk on the motorway, which i don't suggest, with the risk of accidents or the police catching you, but at least, you could stay on the last roundabout before the motorway and write a sign to "Estación de Servicio" (Service station), together with your final destination, and at least get a ride of 2km to that gas station.
I didn't see that much movement of cars, so it helps you to have a little talk with drivers and convince them by the little previous contact. 30 Km from that spot there is another Gas station with similar conditions. I made Bilbao to Barcelona in two cars, but i have to say i was quite lucky. Don't take it as normal, but anyway, is a good spot and at least you will be on the right way.
