{{Hitchhiking Zine nomination}}
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).
As of 09/2017 there is a new metro line in Granada. Take the metro to the last stop "Albolote", then walk north towards the highway (ca. 2-3 km). There is a gas station on the left handside of the bridge over the highway. It is a really good spot, takes between 2 minutes and 8 hours. Direction Sevilla there is one more of the good 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.
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.
We walked all the way from Granada to the first petrol station in Santa Fé, which is definitely not recommandable (but doable in a way). However, talk to people there and hope that the 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 We walked all the way from Granada to the first petrol station in Santa Fé, which is definitely not recommandable (but doable in a way). From the end of Granada and It took me about 1 minute to you can hitchhike a car to Santa féFé. If you´ll go to In Santa fé Fé you should check really nice hot springs which are only few kilometers from the town. (December 2016)!!
Just after the district Albaicin there is mountains where you can find good places for a tent. It's about 30 minutes on foot from the city center or from Alhambra. 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.

'''Granada''' is a main city in [[Andalusia]], a region in [[Spain]].

=== 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.
