Hitching out
All directions
Walk to "El Arcangel" Shopping Mall, and from there walk across Escultor Sebastian Cuevas street. Passing a plane (!) on your right, and then the football stadium, you will see a traffic circle and signs that divide the road towards Madrid, to the left and Malaga, Granada and Sevilla to the right.
You can just wait on the side of the road, right before traffic lights. A big banner with your destination will help.
Be carefull because in Spain to hitchhick in motorways and its entrances is forbidden, so do not get too close to the motorway if you want to avoid problems.
If you are going to Madrid, Granada via Jaen, or Jaen, you can ask for a ride to the petrol station near the prison. Is a very very good place to get a long ride to wherever.
West towards Sevilla, Malaga
Option 1: See "All directions" above
Option 2: Walk to "Puente de San Rafael" and cross it. When you reach a roundabout, turn to your right to Avenida de Cadiz, and continue following the right sidewalk. In 500m you will reach a Repsol petrol station. 500m more away, there is another station (Campsa). Bus line 9, "Huelva" stop, is very close to both stations. From one of both try to get a ride outside Cordoba, to the next petrol station in the motorway or to "La Carlota", a town 30km away from Córdoba.
Early in the morning there will be a lot of traffic goint outside Cordoba, but it decreases as it is getting late. In the afternoon/evening, almost all will be local traffic. If you desperate, walk about 1 km more down a bridge and you will reach an industrial state. Try to find the entrance to the motorway, make a good banner and try from here. Consider to write "Proxima gasolinera" (next petrol station) at the back of your destination, to increase possibilities. Remmember that in spain, to hitchhick in motorways and it entrances is forbidden. Take your time to understand traffic flows, since the estate is chaotic. Considering all this, be strategic to choose a good place.
