'''Santiago de Compostela''' is a city in [[Spain]].
== Hitching out ==
Getting out can be difficult as there are only two roads that go out of the city, leading to many different directions.
=== East towards All directions: [[La Coruña]], [[Santander]], [[Donostia-San Sebastián|San Sebastian]], [[FrancePortugal]] === The place indicated in the map, at the western entrance on the highway, is a good one, a roundabout at the entrance of the highway, it works for all directions. To get there just walk out from the city, or ask the driver of the airport bus (it leaves from zona nueva and bus terminal) to drop you off close to here (1 €, some Spanish will be useful to explain what you want).  [[South towards Vigo and Pontevedra]] There is a Repsol service station on the SC 20 that can be accessed by foot where many drivers are going south. To get there you can take the number 5 bus to the terminus located on Rua da Poza Real de abaixo. Just several metres uphill you'll come across a mini roundabout, go under the autovia to the other side and immediately turn left up the stairs. Then follow the footpath at the side of the road for 2 minutes and you will arrive at the service station. There's a water tap outside, however I cannot confirm that it's água portable.
Head out from the airport I approached people and asked in the direction Español "hola, una cosa! Estás yendo hacia Pontevedra, por casualidad?" (Hey, one thing! Are you going towards Pontevedra, by any chance?)It's better if you try and speak Spanish instead of Lugo and then OviedoEnglish.If someone respondes with "si" or "porque?"Follow up by saying "ah cool, yo tambien. Estoy viajando por España con me mochila y haciendo autostop. This is the coastal road routeCréas que me podrias acercar alla, por favor?"(Ah cool, me too. From here there are a lot of tourists I'm travelling through España with my backpack and hitchhiking. Do you are more likely to get someone foreign who is more likely to pick think you up than the locals.could take me there, please?)
== Sleep ==I was able to find a ride after asking roughly 30 people for about 25 mins.
Just outside of Santiago is a small town called "Monte do Gozo". Some pilgrims stop there before entering the city. It's a huge center and has almost 2000 beds. There is a frequent bus line that will take you to walking distance of the town centre. Apparently it works with donations.{{IsIn|Spain}}== Trashwiki & Nomadwiki ==
