Donostia-San Sebastián

<map lat='43.311939092640564' lng='-1.9820022583007812' zoom='13' view='0' float='right'/> Donostia (San Sebastian in Spanish) is a city in the Basque Country, in the north of Spain near the French border.

Hitching North towards France: Bordeaux, Toulouse

You don't have to take any train to hitch out of Donostia! It's really easy to just walk to the next gas station and ask cars with French or other non-Spanish number plates. We tried the one closest to the city centre at Av de Navarra/Calle de Zemoriya and found a French car going all the way over boarder, dropping us at the first French gas station. From there you can easily get further to Bordeaux or Toulouse.

Take the local train to Irun and walk to the motorway. At the border there is a toll-gate, where you can ask for lifts. It's easy to go to Bordeaux, France and it should also be possible to find a ride heading into Spain or Portugal.

A bit further, there is also a huge truck stop.
