=== West towards [[Huelva]] or [[Portugal]] ===
'''Option 1'''
5/10/2019 Alex hitched a ride to Huelva from the roundabout near Carrefour/Decathlon in less than a minute. There is convenient gravel shoulder that allows cars to stop. (37.3901426, -6.0338260)
The spot is well connected to the bus lines M-141/M-142/M-142B from the bus station Plaza de Armas (€1.40 / 6 minutes)
'''Option 2'''
The entrance to the motorway is exactly beside the bus station ''Plaza de Armas''. Walk towards the motorway and stop after the bridge. On the right side of the street there is a huge crosswalk. The way to Huelva is to the left and the crosswalk is to the right. One hitchhiker had a waiting time of 40 minutes. Thumbing from the intersection ''Camas'', which is the first one after the motorway junction, seems to be a bad option. A hitchhiker who did try, ended up waiting for four hours.
5/10/2019 Alex tried thumbing at red light of the large circle intersection after crossing the bridge. Although a local informed her that hitching from this spot is common, she had no luck in over an hour, and it was difficult/dangerous for cars to stop here. (37.3897699, -6.0127505) '''Option 23'''Go to Praza Plaza de Armas and take bus M-161 in direction "Tomares". The bus will drive for a couple of minutes on the A-49 direction Huelva (1,40 Euro). Get out at the first bus-stop after the motorway. Walk back to the motorway, walk along the first roundabout and cross the bridge of the motorway. You'll see an IKEA on the left and a bigger roundabout in front of you. Leave the roundabout behind and you'll the a green petrol station.
Have a look at the Google Map: [http://maps.google.es/maps?saddr=37.380531,-6.04557&daddr=37.38561,-6.046565&hl=es&ll=37.382332,-6.044884&spn=0.00948,0.021136&sll=37.385704,-6.045817&sspn=0.001185,0.002642&geocode=FbNhOgIdfsCj_w%3BFYp1OgIdm7yj_w&mra=ls&t=m&z=16 from the bus stop to the petrol station]
Ask for a ride to the next petrol station on the motorway which is 20km far.
Kossabossa hitched a ride after 30 minutes to a large petrol station near Chucena, 35km away from Sevilla. According to the driver, it's a bigger one than the previous and makes it easier to catch the next ride [https://www.google.ro/maps/place/La+Pausa/@37.348339,-6.4238501,174m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xd8a35ca63db9c341!8m2!3d37.348339!4d-6.423303 map]. I found a ride to Faro, Portugal in 10 minutes there. --[[User:Kossabossa|Kossabossa]], 1 October 2017
'''Option 34'''
Go to Santa Justa train station and take Cercanias C-5 (Virgen del Rocio - Benacazon), in direction "Benacazon". There is a train each hour for 3,30€. Buy the ticket from Santa Justa to Benacazon. Try to get a ride at the very train station, just ask to reach the town ("¿Me puede llevar a l pueblo?" in spanish) or "Las nieves" petrol station ("Me puede llevar a la gasolinera de las nieves"). If you are unlucky, just walk across the road to the village (the one with a bike lane at the right side, and there ask for the motorway or "Andalusí Park" hotel ("Por donde se va a la autovia" / "Por donde se va al hotel Andalusí Park"). Leave the hotel at your right, walk across the bridge over the motorway and you will see the petrol station. From there you can get a long ride, since the station is far away enough from Sevilla. It has a lot of activity, specialy in summer time. But if everything goes bad, just ask for a ride to the next petrol station in Chucena, a big one with restaurant, lot of services, and many cars and trucks for you to try. My experience: It takes me two minutes to find a car outside the Cercanias station. They took me directly to the petrol station and there, in 5-10 minutes, I found a car to Bollullos Par del Condado, my destination.
