If you dont wanna stand at the roundabout where the road is momentarily experiencing roadworks and the lanes have been reduced we just found out that you can walk onto the first gas station from the roundabout. Its just a bit more than 2km and you can start hitching right on [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=metro+dom+joao+II,+vila+nova+de+gaia,+portugal&daddr=41.1162456,-8.6073042+to:Unknown+road&hl=en&geocode=FaxvcwId6q18_yk_Hei00mQkDTHO6jAWa1xOEw%3BFVVicwIduKl8_ymBCBysLXskDTHgckG0vesAEw%3BFVspcwIdOMd8_w&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=17&via=1&dirflg=w&sll=41.116058,-8.605481&sspn=0.003734,0.006899&ie=UTF8&ll=41.102784,-8.601093&spn=0.003735,0.006899&t=h&z=17 a gas station on the motorway].
Just walk down the hill for 2km as indicated on the map, then you cross the motorway through a tunnel. Walk up a smaller hill for 200m until on your left there is a spring and a smaller sandroad. On both sides of the sandroad there are two wild gardens. On the end of the road (heading to the motorway) up comes a house on your left and a door on your right. The door leads to the gasstation framed by a 1,80 high fence on top with barb wire. The fence has already been repaired quite a bit. After 50m you come to another metal door which leads you onto the gas station. On its It can be opened with a little rusty wire on the right - just pull very hard. Otherwise you can either climb it or call always shout for people on the inside somebody to open the door for you because the door CAN BE OPENED from the Inside. We didnt know "yesterday (7.2.2011) and we jumped both off the fence and I got hurt.Always check the doors first. They may be open! (February august 2011)
