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

Try some gas stations on the way to the highway. 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 the boarder, dropping us at the first French gas station.

If you have no luck: 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.
