Take a Renfe train from ''Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia'' (there are even more trains from ''Barcelona-Sants'') on the R2 or R2 Nord line, direction: Granollers Centre (R2) or Macanet-Massanes (R2 Nord). Get off at station ''Montcada i Reixac''. (This train will take you about 20 minutes and costs €2,20 (2018)). Exit the train station to the left, through the second exit in the direction of the train. Walk under the railways and pass through the station building. At the other side you will find yourself at a small shopping district with a one way street. Follow it to the right. Pass the church, traffic lights, and cross the pedestrian bridge. Once over the bridge, turn left and follow the fenced in school playground around to the right. You should now see the motorway above you and parking below the motorway. Continue following the motorway until you see the road dip down and to the right under the railroad. Go under the bridge. Up ahead and to your left you will see a very broken vertical turnstile and a sign saying "forbidden" (see a picture here: http://imgur.com/MLxJc29). Ignore the sign and follow the foot path to the right, to the service road along the motorway. This service road goes right into the back of a Gasolinera Galp Montcada Norte petrol station.<br/ >
Hitch Take a Renfe train from ''Barcelona-Passeig de Gracia'' (there by asking aroundare even more trains from ''Barcelona-Sants'') on the R2 or R2 Nord line, direction: Granollers Centre (R2) or with a sign where the exits convergeMacanet-Massanes (R2 Nord). Get off at station ''Montcada i Reixac''. Keep in mind that the toll is only two kilometers ahead, so try for shorter distances to get past the toll (This train will take you about 20 minutes and onto a different rest stop. [[User:sovereign|Sovereign]]costs €2, after waiting for 15 minutes 20 (standing, with sign2018)) at . Exit the Galp train station was told by an employee to fly a sign with "Girona" instead of "FR". Girona works far better and there is another station before and after Girona. This spot worked really well May 2019. Busy with other hitchhikers but we thumbed by the left, through the second exit and got a car to figueres in minutes. This good petrol-station is on the C33 motorway (which leads to direction of the Autopista del Mediterraneo, AP7/ E15) and is just 10 minutes away from Barcelona city centre by train. You can find cars going to Girona, Figueres, Walk under the railways and sometimes even much further: straight into Francepass through the station building. :This option worked very well for us (Steffi and Manu), At the spot is easy to other side you will find, the description above is very good! takes about half an hour form Passeig de Gracia, people were helpful yourself at the petrol station, we got a ride all the small shopping district with a one way to Switzerlandstreet.:This option also worked well for me (Tarik) in Jan-14. I just waited for 15 minutes until a gracious Spanish couple gave me a ride Follow it to Gironathe right.:This option worked for me (Joel) too in June-15Pass the church, traffic lights, and cross the pedestrian bridge. Waited 20 minutes before I was picked up by some really friendly spaniards. The trouble for me was to get out of Spain (gave up after 4 hours) Once over the bridge, turn left and I was stuck just close to follow the border to France fenced in La Jonquera before I finally had to get a cab to Perpignan. Apparently -nobody- picks up hitch hikers just next school playground around to the border because this is a huge drug smuggling zoneright. Both rides I took before they clearly asked me if I had any drugs on me. I had no idea why but You should now I understandsee the motorway above you and parking below the motorway. My recommendation is that Continue following the motorway until you find someone that goes all see the way road dip down and to France in Montcada / Girona, because believe me, there is absolutely nothing to see in La Jonquerathe right under the railroad. (In hindsight I should've just walked Go under the remaining 5 kms to France where it's very easy to catch a ridebridge.) :La Jonquera is a nasty place. Try to avoid being dropped there. We failed Up ahead and lost about an hour trying to catch your left you will see a car at the toll station. :It is very broken vertical turnstile and a great spot! I used it 2 times sign saying "forbidden" (04/2014 and 08/2016). Once I was going to France with Girona sign. Leaving a highway in Spain - not a good idea! Coming back is a nightmare... My advise is to look for see a French car if you're going further. Also watch out for R2 trains as half of them after ''Passeig de Gracia'' goes to the final station instead of your direction. --[[Userpicture here:Polski Matematyk|Polski Matematyk]] http:Still working on 7/17/imgur. We were two guys (we are big, indeedcom/MLxJc29) and a american took us until Narbonne.
