{{Hitchhiking Zine nomination}}
NORTH:====North====
Works not so good in direction Malaga.
Direction Malaga is completely Spanish typical. That means 'Get lucky or you're screwed.'. We were 3 people and one driver could only take 2 of us so I just stayed there for the next 8 hours and nothing happened. Went back to town, took a 5 euro bus south to Motril and camped near the city as its pretty small.
=== Camping ===If you talk to nice people in the Albayzin, they may be able to help direct you to some nice camping spots near the caves in the hills of Sacromonte. However, prepare for Church serves a bit of free food and offers a hike with heavy gear.Anyway, you can find spots to camp outside the city on your own: from Albayzin it's not far to the woods above the city.free shovers

'''Granada''' is a main city in [[Andalusia]], a region in [[Spain]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
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]] ===Get any of the entrances next to the A44, going either North ([[Madrid]]) or South ([[Málaga|Malaga]])
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.
=== East towards [[Murcia]], [[Valencia]], West towards [[Sevilla]], [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===Go with 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.
==== 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 From the gas station guy doesn't mind. He did when we tried, but got lucky in time. It took us one end of Granada you can hitchhike a car to get all the way to MálagaSanta Fé. In Santa Fé you should check really hot springs!! (September 2010)
== 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 == Just after the district Albaicin or after cemetery there is mountains where you can find good places for a tent. It's about 30 minutes on foot from the city center. Locals who live there do not care so much about tourists with a tents. Also in this hills there are some caves where people live. Maybe you'll be lucky to find any empty cave for your own or someone invite you.
==Nomadwiki & Trashwiki = Couchsurfing ===There is a weekly couchsurfing meeting in Granada (Winter 2009/2010 it was each Wednesday) in Granada - Time and place in Granada's couchsurfing group. You might have some luck to find a couch, just going to that meeting and get to know hosts for a night.
