Go with As of 09/2017 there is a new metro line in Granada. Take the bus '''123''' from ''Caleta'' or ''Estacion de Autobuses'', metro to the first last stop in "Albolote", then walk there about 5 mins north towards the A92, which highway (ca. 2-3 km). There is the Motorway between Sevilla and Murcia, take a view gas station on the right and choose left handside of the petrol station that leads you bridge over the direction you want to gohighway. It is a really good spot, takes between 2 minutes and 8 hours. Direction Sevilla there is one more of the good gas petrol stations, right after Lorca. The other way you have one directly when you come close to guadix, might be like exit 296. June 2013- From Granada bus station- walk away from the centre crossing two roundabouts until you reach a petrol station. Managed to get a hitch from here to a 'better' petrol station close to Albolote in about 10 minutes. Waited at this petrol station for 2 1/2 hours with no real luck, this is a big petrol station with a restaurant but it is just before the road splits into those heading for Murcia (our destination) and Madrid- everybody here is going to Madrid. Walked further down the road and came to a roundabout which splits the road (before a bridge), this spot would definitely have people going in the right direction but is slightly dangerous. We were low on time so sadly had to abort the mission- but did manage to get a hitch from the roundabout back to Granada in 10 minutes. We were also told that the traffic was a bit slower at the petrol station because it was Sunday.

=== West towards [[Sevilla]], [[Portugal]] ===
Go where the A44 crosses the A329 ([http://maps.google.es/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=15&ll=37.192596,-3.626089&spn=0.02205,0.032916 location on map]), and get on the A329 towards the A92. This is the motorway between Sevilla and Granada.
Take the bus SN3 or SN4 and get out at Faculty of Fine Arts. (Facultad de Bellas Artes) From there, continue walking straight on in the same direction for about 15 minutes and you'll get to a petrol station Repsol. The traffic is low and it's 8 km before the highway. Try to get a ride after Santa Fe.
=== North or South towards [[Madrid]], [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===
====North====
A good place to start is Granada's service station ("via de servicio") in the north of the city (that's where most of the people heading north enter the motorway anyway):
Where "Carretera de Jaen" (also called "Av de Juan Pablo II"?) and the A44 meet, you find a big roundabout below the motorway. Take the exit "via de servicio" (or if that exit doesn't exist, then "poligono indistrial" - sorry, not sure!) There's a gas petrol station where you can find a ride.
Have in mind that most of the drivers there will go to [[Jaen]].
=== Northeast towards [[Valencia]], [[Barcelona]] ===
Get any of the entrances next to the A44 and use the direction of Lorca/ Guadix (A92 and later A91). Best thing would be to wait for someone who actually is going into that direction since the A44 crosses the A92 after 5-10 minutes.
March 2019: I walked to "Calle Alcalde Mosén Rubí de Bracamonte" and got a lift to Guadix in about 20mins from the beginning of the road (when cars turn onto it). There were few cars going that way but there's space for them to pull over. (from Guadix I went to Almeria also quickly, but Almeria was very difficult to hitch out of).
=== East towards [[Murcia]], [[Valencia]], West towards [[Sevilla]], [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===
Works not so good in direction Malaga.
==== Direction Málaga via Santa Fé ====
We walked all the way from Granada to the first gas petrol station in Santa Fé, which is definitely not recommandable (but doable in a way). However, talk to people there and hope that the gas petrol station guy doesn't mind. He did when we tried, but got lucky in time. It took us one car to get all the way to Málaga! (September 2010) I went to the end of Granada and It took me about 1 minute to hitchhike a car to Santa fé. If you´ll go to Santa fé you should check really nice hot springs which are only few kilometers from the town. (December 2016)
== Hitching In ==
Granada ([http://maps.google.es/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=13&ll=37.201894,-3.607292&spn=0.088191,0.131664 map]) has a national motorway called A44 just around the city. There are many exits on this motorway. When you are on the A44, wait for exits with direction city center. The driver can easily get off and on the A44, in either direction.
== Accommodation Sleep == === Camping ===If you talk to nice people in Just after the Albayzin, they may be able to help direct district Albaicin there is mountains where you to some nice camping spots near the caves in the hills of Sacromonte. However, prepare can find good places for a bit of a hike with heavy geartent.Anyway, you can find spots to camp outside the city It's about 30 minutes on your own: foot from Albayzin it's not far to the woods above the citycenter or from Alhambra. === Couchsurfing ===There is Locals who live there do not care so much about tourists with a weekly couchsurfing meeting tents. Also in Granada (Winter 2009/2010 it was each Wednesday) in Granada - Time and place in Granadathis hills there are some caves where people live. Maybe you's couchsurfing group. You might have some luck ll be lucky to find a couch, just going to that meeting and get to know hosts any empty cave for a nightyour own or someone invite you.
