==== From Santo Ovídio ====
Going Hitching South is very easy, even especially when you start from within the nearby city of ''Vila Nova de Gaia'', which is just across the Douro River. One spot in Gaia is a roundabout, next to the last metro stop (''Santo Ovídio''). This is an okay spot to stand, even at night, for going to both towards the north Porto and above as well as going south. It is better if you stare down the highway which points towards A1 Highway going to Lisbon and turning right to Porto and North, there is a small red light and stand there if you want to head back to Porto and North.
