Robino hitchhiking in Granada

Hitching in Spain is not as good as in some other European countries. You usually have to wait for some time - but those who pick you up at last tend to be really nice. Sometimes you will have to be patient and not just patient for an hour or so. Once, Latindane had to wait 4 hours to get a 300 kilometers ride with lunch included towards Madrid. You might have heard that Spaniards do not usually pick up hitchhikers. That's partially true, nevertheless, you will find a lot of foreigners from countries where the hitchhiking culture is more developed.

In Spain it is very important to talk to drivers. Walk up to drivers at gas stations and ask them where they are heading to. Knowing some sentences in Spanish helps you a lot.

It seems waiting at autopista toll stops, or peajes, isn't allowed.
