Zaragoza is the capital of the state Aragon, in Spain.

Hitching Out

East towards Barcelona, France

A general problem is that lots of people take the National Road next to the highway because it's free. There it is not that good to hitchhike because there aren't as many petrol stations.

The 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 highway but you will soon figure out that not even 10% of the cars go on the highway. Most of them just cross it over on the bridge. Now Fabzgy would rather try his luck with the bus 29 and get of as close to the cross of the city highway.

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 highway access.

By the way - the second petrol station is bigger but not really on the highway. So try the first one after Zaragoza if your driver doesn't go far.

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

The official charity project from FC St. Pauli football club ran a charity hitch-race from Hamburg to Zaragoza from the 23rd of August on to the EXPO 2008 with the topic Water and Sustainable Development. See also the viva con agua website.
