A general ''problem'' is that lots of people take the National Road next to the motorway because it's free. There it is not that good to hitchhike because there aren't as many petrol stations.
The [http://www.tuzsa.es/resources/mapaDiurno.pdf bus] #28 is not the best choice to hitchhike out of '''Zaragoza'''. You will get to a kind of good looking point with a petrol station and a red-light before the motorway but you will soon figure out that not even 10% of the cars go on the motorway. Most of them just cross it over on the bridge. Now [[User:Fabzgy|Fabzgy]] would rather try his luck with the bus 29 and get of as close to the cross of the city motorway.
Wladi tried the bus28-thing: It really doesn't work! Better to follow the "Ronda Hispanidad Z-30" (Wladi hasn't tried yet - finally he took the alsa.es-bus to Barcelona) to get to the motorway access.
By the way - the second petrol station is bigger but not really on the motorway. So try the first one after '''Zaragoza''' if your driver doesn't go far.
Barcelona --- Succesful hitchhike after 3 hours ---
I first went to this round-about like intersection and stayed exactly after the first road sign saying BARCELONA - on the first laneRepsol petrol station/service area in La Puebla de Alfinden. Bus 211 till (012) NII Rotonda P. I stayed there for 3 hours and the closest success was some guy shouting out the window 'Where do you want to go' in Spanish because I didn't have the sign posted and I was just signing by hand. This was completely useless because he just went with 80kmsMalpica/h so I didn't have time to respond. In my opinion Spanish people do NOT hitchhike and tend to make fun of people who do.AlfindénAnyway, the roundabout intersection is here:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocodeSouthwest towards [[Madrid]] =&q=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Spain&sll=41 To hitch Southwest towards Madrid you are best to catch a bus towards the airport 501 which stops at Plaza Imperial.662974 You can get out here and try to hitch from an on ramp to the A2,-0.886288&sspn=0.035267,0.104628&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Zaragoza,+Arag%C3%B3n,+Spain&ll=41.666276,-0.879979&spn=0.00888,0.026157&z=16Then I got pissed off and considering but you are better to walk along the side of the previous reviews A2 for about bus 28/29 I said I'm going to try something 'new' so I just walked randomly to this place: 2kms until you find a large El Cisne petrol station http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Spain&sll=41.662974,North-0.886288&sspn=0.035267,0.104628&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ronda+Hispanidad,+ZaragozaWest towards [[Logroño]],+Arag%C3%B3n[[Pamplona]],+Spain&ll[[Leon]] =41.677277,-0.851325&spn=0.00111,0.00327&t=h&z=19
You can get on Av Alcalde Francisco Caballero with bus 44 until the intersection with Ronda Hispanidad and then walk all the way up on the bridge towards the Nord Este Autovia junction.
That whole area is an industrial site so there are a lot of trucks passing by and the chances are bigger with them than with normal cars. In the same time the problem with that junction is that trucks don't have place to stop but the guy who picked me up just stopped in the middle of the road so apparently that is not a big deal for _some_ of them at least.
As I found out from the driver, the best hours are around 10 AM and 6-7 PM because there are generally 2 shifts of transporting merchandise between Zaragoza and Barcelona.
I got picked up at 6.30 PM
He also told me almost all merchandise trucks are leaving from Mercazaragoza which is a little bit to the north from the junction I've hitchhiked from, and that it's way better to go there and ask 'Option 1''' Estación de Servicio Petronor Repsol petrol station right on the drivers.Mercazaragoza is here:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Spain&sll=41.662974,-0.886288&sspn=0.035267,0.104628&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ronda+Hispanidad,+Zaragoza,+Arag%C3%B3n,+Spain&ll=41.686101,-0.858436&spn=0.005224,0.020449&t=h&z=16highway
He said any From the city in Spain should have centre with a Merca<namewalk of about 20-30 minutes, I easily found cars there: If you go from the bus stop Avda. Navarra 54 C.C. Delicias in front of-the-city> where Centro Cívico Delicias you can take the '''bus 603''' to ''CASETAS'', leave the bus at the stop ''Logroño 14'' (which is the second stop in the vilage) and take the next steet to the right (Calle del Palacio) and head staight on for 200m, also go straight (2nd exit) at the trucks get loaded with stuff roundabout and head on for another 500m. There ou will see some stairs to go over the trails at the railway station. Just continue till you reach the other side of the rails. Here you will encounter a small street on your left between two factories. On this road you see a roundabout after 100m that leads you over a bridge above the highway from now where you can already see the petrol station. on I should go directly therethe left side.Hope this information is useful Go on the other side of the bridge and continue on a small path parallel to anyone the highway for about 800m and in the futureend you will see a walking enrance to the petrol station.
=== Southwest towards [[Madrid]] ===
To hitch Southwest towards Madrid you are best to catch a bus towards the airport, which stops at a large shopping plaza. You can get out here and try to hitch from an on ramp to the A2, but you are better to walk along the side of the A2 for about 2kms until you find a large 24hr Gasolina-Restaurant. From here it is easy to approach drivers for a lift to Madrid.
== Trivia =='''Option 2''' The official charity project from FC StCatch either bus 27 or 52 to Centro Augusta. Pauli football club ran From here follow the N-232 for 5 minutes till you reach a charity hitch-race from [[Hamburg]] to Carrefour petrol station. Place is still in city limits '''ZaragozaOption 3''' from After Centro de Agusta, there are three petrol stations. Most drivers will be staying within Zaragoza or going to one of the 23rd of August on outlying pueblos such as Utebo. Therefore, go to the EXPO 2008 with third gasoline station.
