=== North or South ===
;First option
There is a petrol station right on the A7 close to Sagunt, where you can get on either side, depending which direction you want to go. Heading north is very easy, normally it doesn't take long to get a good lift, maybe even directly to France, heading south is more difficult. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] experienced both ways to be good.
;Second optionThere is a new-built gas station just a little north of the division of the motorway into {{Aes|A-7}} and {{Aes|AP-7}}, close to Torrent. Take metro line 1 direction Villanueva de Castellón and get off at ''Realón'' or ''Sant Ramon'' stations, which are about a 25 minute ride from centre. There you have to go direction ''Santa Apolonia'Third option', check before on [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Carretera+desconocida&daddr=Carretera+desconocida+to:Carretera+desconocida&hl=es&geocode=FWz2WAId-N74_w%3BFSA0WQIdUIX4_w%3BFVJSWQIdnvX4_w&mra=ls&dirflg=w&doflg=ptk&sll=39.397668,-0.475588&sspn=0.030444,0.055189&ie=UTF8&ll=39.398,-0.473785&spn=0.030444,0.055189&z=14 GoogleMaps] or [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMaps], it's about a 4 km walk. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] got a ride south directly to Granada, generally it's {{good}} regarding Spanish gas stations.
;Third option
=== North towards [[Barcelona]] ===
Going into direction [[Barcelona]] is possible at a drive-up way in the north of the town. Drop out at tram (''tranvía'') station ''Universidad Politécnica'' or bus (9, 18, 29 or 41) and drop off at ''Tarongers'' avenue. Hitchhiker [[User:Buzz|Buzz]] waited right beside the metal university tower. There is plenty of traffic leaving town in direction north.
[[User:Guaka|guaka]] and Erga had a bad time hitching from that spot. Cars go fast and === North to Tarragona, Barcelona === Drive-up way to road V-21 in the cars on north of the right (driving direction) all go to town. Take the university. tram It worked out better about a 100 meters further where cars leave from and get off the universitystation ''Universidad Politécnica''s parking space. Stillor bus (9, don't forget that the Valencian students are much less cool than most universities in the world and most of them will drive straight past you18, with surprised confused 29 or 41) and sometimes even disgusted facesdrop off at ''Tarongers'' avenue. Also, if Hitchike around bus stop or you head North you need to stay on can wait also right beside the right motorway (which didn't work out for [[User:Guaka|guaka]] and Erga) get off somewhere at Pucol if someone metal university tower. There is driving to Sagunto! Definitely avoid getting off anywhere other than a service station. [[User:Lemjok|Lemjok]] got a ride to Castellon and spent five hours standing there before deciding to take a train back to Les Vallsplenty of traffic leaving town heading north.
Steffi and Manu found it really hard hitch from that spot in January 12, very little people actually went for the petrol station.
Go to the furthest extreme of ''Avinguda del Cid'Fuel station Repsol'. You can get there by metro, going to ''Mislata'' Fuel station and walking south 10 min, or by bus number 3 or 29 Repsol (dropping at ''Cid-Marcelino Oreja'' stop46930 Quart de Poblet) or 71 (''Alqueria Novaon the A-Cortes d'arenós'' stop)3 motorway just out from town. Once You can go there you can hitchhike right before from the bridge where there is a bus stop or place for center with the cars to stopmetrobus 160 (C. You can also try [http://maps.google.com/maps?near=39.472222,-0.431092 this place] C Bonaire direction) or cross the bridge and try to get to one of the Petrol stations where lot of cars stop 170 (though, a lot of them are going to ManisesEl Vedat direction) and there because there are fences everywhere in stop at the middleCami Nou busstop.If you need a shower, WC,... Go to '''El Pont''' fuel station / rest place out of city Bus 260A or 260B till Área De Servicio El Pont (The Bridgeticket costs few euro);

If you are coming from the north (e.g. from Barcelona) and wish to go south or west, ask your driver to leave you at the Sagunto service station (''Area de servicio de Sagunto'') where there is a large truck parking lot and a restaurant for drivers on long-distance journeys. The GPS coordinates of Sagunto service station are 39.64970, -0.30268.
== Hitching out ==
=== North or South on A7 highway === '''First option''' There is a petrol station right on the A7 close to Sagunt, where you can get on either side, depending which direction you want to go. Heading north is very easy, normally it doesn't take long to get a good lift, maybe even directly to France, heading south is more difficult. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] experienced both ways to be good. [[User:jorenvanveen|jorenvanveen]] and his buddy Ruben had more difficulties, waiting 6 hours, before getting a small ride to Castellón. You have to take the bus or train to Sagunt and walk like 3.5 km south-south-west - ''Carrer de la Pau'', ''Cami de Gausa'', ''Carrer de Lliria''. You should look it up on Google Maps or OpenStreetMaps to not get lost the first time you go there, because it is all through very tiny roads! Watch out that you don't get on the BP petrol station on the V-23. [http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/39.6664/-0.3090 osm] '''Second option''' There is a new-built petrol station just a little north of the division of the motorway into {{Aes|A-7}} and {{Aes|AP-7}}, close to Torrent. Take metro line 1 direction Villanueva de Castellón and get off at ''Realón'' or ''Sant Ramon'' stations, which are about a 25 minute ride from centre.

Another way to travel North or maybe South (at least to Valencia) is to take the train towards Castellon, and get off the train at ''Les Valls'' (note that few trains stop at this station.) There is a Peaje section on the AP-7 around 250m from the station which can be accessed by walking over the bridge and down a dirt track. This location works very well, and is well lit, meaning hitching at night is possible. A ride to Barcelona or France is easily possible from here, and guarantees a faster ride than taking the N340. The toll workers don't like seeing people hitchhiking on the motorway, of course, but you can compromise by waiting on the lawn next to the toll building. Quite a few truckers seem to stop for a pee there, and you can ask them for a lift to the next service station.
=== South towards [[Alicante]] {{European Route Number|15}}, [[Sevilla]] ===
There is a [[roundabout]] just where the motorway starts in '''Valencia'''. This is a good place where cars can stop but it is at the edge of the city. Use a sign. You can get rides to Alicante, [[Granada]] and [[Sevilla]], either by the 'national motorway' {{Aes|A-7}} through the center or the toll-motorway along the coast {{Aes|AP-7}}.
The roundabout is located on the street ''Ave. de Ausiàs March'' in the south of the city, close to the river. It is a 25–35 minute walk from the main train station, and metro stations ''Joaquín Sorolla-Jesus'' or ''Xativa''. You can also take the buses number 6 (''Ausias March-Na Rovella'' stop, 5 min. walking away), 7 or 13 (''Fonteta de Sant Lluis-Riu Sec'' stop, 5 min. walking away), 8 or 64 (''Boulevard Sud-Ausiàs March'' stop). The best choice is to go there by bus number 8, taking it at ''Plaça de l'ajuntament'', ''Plaça de la Reina'' or Central train station on ''Nuevo hospital La Fe'' direction. See [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=39.44588721196113&lng=-0.36842823028564453&zoom=16&trip=0&view=0 here] a map of the location of the roundabout in '''Valencia'''. If you find it hard to get a lift from the roundabout, there is a petrol station very close by where you can try to ask for a lift from the people tanking up there.
