== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[Aveiro]], [[Lisbon]], [[Algarve]] ===
Take the Tram/Train to São Frutuoso (less than 2 Euro). Walk the ''Rua Prof. Antonio Marques'' until the end and you'll arrive at a petrol station right next to the motorway to Vigo/Spain after appx 800m.
''Note:'' There is a fence around the whole petrol station, almost impossible to climb. To ring the bell and ask for entrance is a bad idea. Walk along the fence until the bridge where it's easy to climb over (January 2012). Try to be unwatched climbing the fence, the petrol station is privatized. I got kicked out in January 2012...In February 2012 I got dropped off on the other side direction Lisbon and had no problem at all staying at the petrol station. Just make sure they don't see you enter the petrol station "illegally".--[[User:Wukk|Wukk]] 18:14, 28 February 2012 (CET)
You may hitch from the petrol station close to metro station "Estadio do mar". At the roundabout, take Av. Calouste Gulbenkian, pass the School of design and you will see an entrance to coastal motorway A28 going North. People might also be going North using other motorways from there since there is a junction heading East close by.
There are probably many other ways of leaving Porto in that direction, yet to be discovered and shared.
Me and my travel-buddy tried the petrol station close to the metro station "Estadio do mar", but couldn't get a ride after trying for one hour. Some people at the petrol station told us about a FREE shuttle bus '''(free bus shuttle – MAR Lines – ended its operation in July 31st 2017''' ) going north to IKEA (located close to the motorway A28) where a lot of spanish people go for shopping. The best way to get to the bus-station for the free shuttle-bus is to take the metro to "Senhora da Hora" (one stop before "Estadio do mar"), walk back (if you took the metro from the city) on the street along the metro-line, take a right into the street called "Avenida de António Domingues dos Santos / Rua da Barranha" and find a bus-station on the right side. This is how it looks like:
