Hitching Out

Northwest towards Valladolid and Burgos

Near Plaza de España go to the address "Gran Via 41", which is under the stone arch walkway just past the post office (Correos). Right in front of that address are a bunch of blue and white signs, one of which says Poligono Los Villares de la Reina, línea 25. This is your bus. It's one of the red buses. Make sure you DO NOT take the bus to "Polígono Santa Marta". If you contine to where the arches stop there is an electronic sign that says when the buses arrive. This bus will take you through the industrial area with lots of warehouses. When you see the big metal sculpture in the middle of a big roundabout, get off the bus. The sculpture is a metal loop with a curved rod running through it. This is the beginning of the highway A62 towards Valladolid, and there is a big shoulder where cars can pull over easily. ¡Buena suerte compañeros y compañeras!
