Public transport is mostly just buses, the locals cycle. Bus tickets are not transferable, you buy a separate one for each bus ride, each costs €1.40. In season, there are oranges everywhere, on every street, dripping off the trees, however they aren't good for eating. == Safety ==Watch out at [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers 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.

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.--[[User:Wukk|Wukk]] 17:56, 28 February 2012 (CET)
'''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 === North towards Extremadura ([[Merida]], in 5-10 minutesBadajoz, I found a car to Bollullos Par del Condado, my destinationetc.) & Castilla y León === Option 1
=== North towards Extremadura ([[Mérida]], Badajoz, etc.) & Castilla y León ===Go to the Estacion de Autobuses Plaza de Armas (main station) and take the line bus 41 (confirmed) towards Camas and Santiponce. The ticket costs 1'55€ (c. 2016). Ask the bus driver for la "ultimata parada" (last stop) in Santiponce, from which it's a short (15 min.) walk to El Camino de Santiago (yay!) and also an on-ramp for the Highway 803 to Mérida.
Tip: Nihilobstat [[http://hitchwiki.org/members/Nihilobstat/]] got super lucky because during the oranges season a man sets a stand right there to sell oranges, and some extra cars stop there because they know about it :-)

2nd option. (Honestly probably not worth it)
Follow the directions above. Then follow the Camino santiago trail through the fields after 40minutes you should see petrol station on your left. Pass underneath the highway and you should be there. Takes about an hour to walk. This petrol station serves both the highway and the route nacional and plenty of cars stop here going in all 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.
Another option, that works better on my opinion is === East towards [[Granada]] and [[Málaga|Malaga]] === '''Option 1:''' Take the bus stop in the end of Avenida de Jerez before it became a motorwayno. There are plenty of space for cars, 29 from "El Prado" bus do not disturb you, because they are very rarely and usually this bus stop is empty. This street is more busy that station (close to the Avenida Plaza de la Raza, but cars goes not so fast, because before Espana) and get off after about 20minutes when you see CEPSA petrol station just few meters from the bus stop is the traffic light. A sign will be very useful because after 200 metres road split into two direction. Better From there try to wait direct car get a ride to Jerez or Cadiz or if you go any petrol station further get out of the city and on the petrol station before Jerez (check the map)A92 highway and there to get a longer ride, to [[Málaga|Malaga]], Granada or any other destination on East.in this place, people
=== East towards [[Granada]] ===Take '''Option 2:''' Catch the number 29 bus no.29 from the city centre to a bus stop appropriately called "El PradoAux. Autovia Málaga (Drago)" bus station (close to in eastern Seville. Cross the Plaza de Espana) footbridge and get off after walk along the A92 highway for about 20minutes when 10 minutes until you see CEPSA reach a BP petrol station just few meters from the bus stop. From there try to get There isn't always a ride to any petrol station further out of the city and footpath on the A92 highway but you can walk one black away from it and there to get a longer ride, to [[Málaga|Malaga]], Granada or any other destination on East.NB: we tried this place with a girlfriend and had bad meetings with strange men , then a rejoin very nice couple picked us up to tell us this was the quarter : torreblanca , one of the most dangerous in sevilla...so pay attention in this place, peopleeasily.
Marco: We spent 3 hours at this gas This BP petrol station is a popular refueling stop for people driving through Seville and met only local people buying "Buthan Gas". After this time a young guy brought us back is also strategically located near the on-ramp to the gas station wehighway. You shouldn've seen before from the bus ("Elbag" or sth. like this). There where not many cars at the gas station, but with a sign we got a lift along the street. Take care t have to get a lift further than the next villagewait 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.
