Hitchhiking out

East towards Gibraltar, Malaga

Walk to the Northeastern exit (towards LIDL) and stand with a sign at the roundabout. Cars will slow down due to humps at the zebra stripes and they can easily stop. Perfect spot - for Gibraltar and likely further to Málaga!

To Tangier

There are frequent passenger ferries to Tangier from Tarifa (up to 15 daily). Considering that it's a mere 14 kilometer trip that takes 35 minutes the price (37 €) is a bit too high. Ferries here are "fast" ferries so use rather port in Algeciras where the ticket costs 20 € (Feb 2012). And also 99% of trucks use port Algeciras, but hitch them there can be very hard. Most of them only take trailors to the port. trash:Tarifa
