Hitchhiking in Catalunya can be quite a challenge at times but experiences are very mixed, ranging from hitchers who get rides relatively easy, to hitchers having larger difficulties and very long waiting times. Overall hitchability is just a bit lower than the one in [[France]]. It is obviously easier to hitchhike in the more touristic areas like Costa Brava or Costa Dourada than in the mountains. It is also easier to find English speaking people there.
== Catalan language ==
Very similar to Spanish. If you are minimally competent in Spanish, you should understand a fair deal of Catalan.
It is helpful to have something written in catalan on your sign, if you use one.
