Hitching Out

West towards Granada, Almería or East towards Alicante

Their is a gas station called Santomera on the A-7 which is the last "big-one" heading west. Afterwards you only have like millions of small ones and often away from the motorway. It is not a AP anymore, only an A-road.

Take bus number 36 towards Santomera/La Matanza (there are only 3 buses per day going further than Santomera, 10:30, 17:30 and ..., more going to Santomera but then you have to walk like 2 km more). Ask the driver to drop you off at the roundabout directly after crossing under the A-7. Take the small road on that roundabout eastwards and choose which side you want to hitchhike (there is a little tunnel after like 200 m). The gas station is like a 20 minute walk away.

West towards Granada, Almería

Take bus number 44D towards Alcantarilla that is actually going further on the N-340a (only like 3 a day, otherwise you have to walk from Alcantarilla, bus number 44). There is a gas station on the N-340a where you have to get off and head towards the A-7 (bus stop 'Hotel la Paz'). Right after the bridge over the A-7 you have the gas station and camping site where you can get east or west, but west should work better. It can take a little bit for there are not too many cars stopping. (location on map)
