====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]].
=== East towards [[Murcia]], [[Valencia]], West towards [[Sevilla]], [[Málaga|Malaga]] ===
Go with the bus '''122'''(Timetables http://terapiaquantica.es/linea_autobuses.pdf) from ''Caleta'' or ''Estacion de Autobuses'' to the first stop in Albolote, walk there about 5 mins towards the A92, which is the Motorway between Sevilla and Murcia, take a view on the right and choose the petrol station that leads you the direction you want to go. 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.
==== 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)
