'''Sevilla''' is a city in the south of [[Spain]] and the capital of the province of [[Andalusia]].
 
== Safety ==
Watch out at[[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for mugglers as Sevilla has a history of thefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by. Never leave your stuff alone.
== Hitching out ==
=== 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.
 '''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.
Wukk hitched a ride after 10 minutes to the next petrol station. From there you get a lot of traffic directly to Portugal.-- '''Option 4'''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. === North towards Extremadura ([[User:Wukk|WukkMerida]] 17:56, 28 February 2012 (CETBadajoz, etc.)& Castilla y León ===
'''Option 3'''1 Go to Santa Justa train the Estacion de Autobuses Plaza de Armas (main station ) and take Cercanias C-5 the line bus 41 (Virgen del Rocio - Benacazonconfirmed), in direction "Benacazon"towards Camas and Santiponce. There is a train each hour for 3,30€ The ticket costs 1'55€ (c. Buy the ticket from Santa Justa to Benacazon2016). Try to get a ride at Ask the very train station, just ask to reach the town (bus driver for la "¿Me puede llevar a l pueblo?ultimata parada" (last stop) in spanish) or "Las nieves" petrol station Santiponce, from which it's a short ("Me puede llevar a la gasolinera de las nieves"15 min.). If you are unlucky, just walk across the road to the village (the one with a bike lane at the right side, El Camino de Santiago and there ask also an on-ramp for the motorway or "Andalusí Park" hotel ("Por donde se va a la autovia" / "Por donde se va al hotel Andalusí Park")Highway 803 to Mérida. Leave   Option 2 petrol station Follow the hotel at your right, walk across directions above. Then follow the bridge over Camino santiago trail through the motorway and fields after 40minutes you will should see the petrol stationon your left. From there you can get a long ride, since Pass underneath 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, highway and many cars and trucks for you to tryshould be there. My experience: It takes me two minutes Takes about an hour to find a car outside the Cercanias stationwalk. They took me directly to the This petrol station serves both the highway and the route nacional and there, plenty of cars stop here going in 5-10 minutes, I found a car to Bollullos Par del Condado, my destinationall directions.
=== North towards [[Madrid]] ===
Take a bus to the airport of Sevilla. Get off at the airport stop and walk straight on towards the motorway. At the junction you will see a petrol station in your front. It's only a five minute walk, it's safe and you will find a ride for sure!
* Note: One anonymous hitchhiker stayed there for Take a whole night bus to the airport of Sevilla. Get off at the airport stop and day and no one ever stoppedwalk straight on towards the motorway. At the junction you will see a BP petrol station in your front. It's only a dead end. The hitchhiker would definitely not recommend five minute walk, it. But then again it is Spain 's safe and as far as (s)he found out it is definitely completely about how lucky you are or not.will find a ride for sure! === South towards [[Cadiz]] ===  
'''This directions are veryOption 1 Another option, very bad and misleading''', so I proposed them to be removed. On that works better on my opinion is the bus stop in the twelve end of April of 2012 I tried Avenida de Jerez before itbecame a motorway. After the airport the only station I saw was going east. So There are plenty of space for cars, bus do not disturb you, because they are very rarely and usually this bus stop is what I didempty... As I walked on This street is more busy that the same direction as Avenida de la Raza, but cars goes not so fast, because before the bus that left me, I saw that station ahead and was told it was going east. I walked on stop is the highway on the Sevilla directiontraffic light. I don´t recommend walking in highways. Then I got on some long dirt A sign will be very useful because after 200 metres road walk for about one hour or sosplit into two direction. Sorry I don´t remember all the details on how Better to wait direct car to Jerez or Cadiz or if you go further get there but it´s quite easy I think. Then when I finally say out on the sign saying Huelva-Merida I walked there. I waited about one hour and a half and got a ride that left me in a town called Camas near petrol station before Jerez (check the highway to Merida. I walked to the entrance. I´m sorry these directions suck but it´s the best I can do since I am not from there. '''Next time I´ll try to take a bus to Camas and walk from there'''map).  Option 2
=== South towards [[Cadiz]] ===
Take the bus to ''Betis Football Stadium'' (which is in the south of Sevilla, Betis street is in the center). Ask for the direction of the autopista. At the end of the ''Avenida de la Raza'' is a roundabout. Underpass the motorway to the second roundabout and try to get a ride. You can go via the motorway or the parallel road, which also works, since a lot of people want to avoid the motorway toll. But it's slow of course. A sign might be useful.
=== East towards [[Granada]] and [[Málaga|Malaga]] === '''Option 1:''' Take the bus no.29 from "El Prado" bus station (close to the Plaza de Espana) and get off after about 20minutes when you see CEPSA petrol station just few meters from the bus stop. From there try to get a ride to any petrol station further out of the city and on the A92 highway and there to get a longer ride, to [[Málaga|Malaga]], Granada or any other destination on East.NB: we tried in this place with a girlfriend and had bad meetings with strange men , then a very nice couple picked us up to tell us this was people.  '''Option 2:''' Catch the quarter : torreblanca , one of number 29 bus from the most dangerous city centre to a bus stop appropriately called "Aux. Autovia Málaga (Drago)" in sevillaeastern Seville.Cross the footbridge and walk along the A92 highway for about 10 minutes until you reach a BP petrol station.There isn't always a footpath on the highway but you can walk one black away from it and rejoin very easily.so pay attention in this place,  This BP petrol station is a popular refueling stop for peopledriving through Seville and is also strategically located near the on-ramp to the highway. You shouldn't have to wait too long.
=== Towards [[Cordoba]] ===
There is also a bus stop on the road between those two petrol stations, with some place for cars to stop after.
== Free Internet Safety ==Tourist office Watch out at the San Francisco square offers 1 hour [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers as Sevilla has a history of Internet for freethefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by. You just have to sign up on the desk there. Working times: 10-14h and 17-20hNever leave your stuff alone.  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
