Madrid
,→Northeast towards Zaragoza, Barcelona {{European Route Number|90}}
== Hitching out ==
Another option is taking the train C3, which leaves from Sol, to the Station Valdemor. The ticket should cost 3,30 € and it takes 30 minutes to get toValdemor. Get off the train and walk downPaseo de la Estacio, take a slight left onto Calle República Argentina(the road right next to the highway) take a right to followCalle República Argentin. After 100 meter turn left onto Av de Andalucia and follow it until you get to the Cedipsa Compañía Española Distribuidora de Petróleos S.A.petrol station. In total it is a 30 minute walk (going uphill). The petrol station is right next to the highway. There is also a big truck stop. The station has mostly local people (as it has a car wash) and is usually quite empty, but you will find somebody (going to Ocana) who will take you to the next service station. In any case, try to get to the Sesana service station, it's on the motorway 4, between Valdemoro and Ocana. Although it is small, it has a restaurant, and unlike other service stations in the South of Madrid, you will find long distance rides there (Granada, Cordoba) with some patience. === East toward [[Valencia]], [[Murcia]] {{European Route Number|901}} === Take the metro 9 in the direction ''Arganda del Del Rey'' (it costs 1 euro for regular zone ticket + 1 euro for extra zone, you have to buy 2 different tickets) and get off at the stop ''Rivas Vaciamadrid''.
Go out of the station, on the right pass under the bridge to the roundabout. You'll see some steps that lead to a bridge over the motorway, on the left there is a petrol station + an motorway onramp. Combine using a sign with asking people and be patient.
=== Northeast towards [[Zaragoza]], [[Barcelona]] {{European Route Number|90}} ===
Hitchhiking between Madrid and Barcelona is fairly easy, but there are multiple options
=== North towards [[Burgos]], Basque Country, [[Bordeaux]] {{European Route Number|5}} ===
'''Option 1''' Take the metro to the station Pinar de Chamartín (1 euro). Walk on the street ''calle Calle Arturo Soria'', cross the M-11, follow the street ''Camino de la Fuente de la Mora'', then turn left at the ''avenudo Avenida de la Manotera''Manoteras. You can stay directly in front of the train station. This There is an upper-class office area full of good-looking young people driving Mini a traffic light and BMW 120dthe cars can stop there, more or less. There is a Cepsa petrol station on the left 300 meters further Once out of Madrid, safest idea is to request lifts to the various service stations, but [[user:Grégoire|Grégoire]] didnand simply approach people who drive in and politely ask them for a lift. '''Option 2'''t find it very welcoming and preferred Take the metro to Hospital Infanta Sofia on line 1. From this metro station you can walk ten minutes up the road to a Shell petrol station on the side of the E5 heading north. From the metro station follow the road Paseo De Europa for 800m. === Northwest towards Galicia === Take metro line 3 to Moncloa. On one of the underground levels of the metro/bus station, take bus number 162 to stick his thumb out at stop 'Av. Padre Huidobro - Argentona', located on route A6 in the end direction of La Coruña. You'll pass a Estación de Servicio Repsol - when you get off the streetbus, where he got walk back down the road about 1.4km to reach it. There is a ride pavement followed by a foot-trail, so you don't have to another petrol station further walk on the A1 30 minutes laterroad. Not a big garage but there's a steady trickle of drivers.
=== West towards [[Portugal]] {{European Route Number|90}} ===
'''Option 1''' Take metro line 6 to the station ''Alto de Extremadura'' and then go to the petrol Cepsa service station on the street ''Avenida de Portugal''16, which is the A5 highway. Most traffic is still staying in the city, be patient and persistant. From there search here you can look for a lift at least to another the petrol station stations mentioned in Option 2 (very close by) or Option 3, or, even better, to the one at km 48 down the A5 (right before Las ventas de Retamosa, exit 49 ). Apparently if you walk 5 minutes down the road on the left there is a place that serves free food at 12.00 pm. '''Option 2''' Take metro 10 or 5 to till Casa de Campo and walk to Repsol Batan gas station, on Carretera Extremadura (A5 highway). Same chances as in Option 1, with most traffic still staying around Madrid. '''Option 3''' Take a metro to Hospital de Móstoles (line 12) and walk about 1 km through end-of-suburbia fields to Autovía del Suroeste next to A5 highway. There is a good Estación de Servicio Repsol petrol station with a Burger King close to Móstoles. You'll enter through the petrol station direction Madrid, and take the bridge to the other side of the highway, direction Talavera, Merida, Badajoz, Portugal. '''Option 4''' Get to the service station Repsol R-5. You would have simply take the metro line 1O to Puerto Del Sur, about 30 minutes riding away from the city centre, and then walk a kilometre or so down Av Leganés passing McDonalds, splitting off to the A5petrol station as you can [https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=40.337075,-3.802514&hl=en&ll=40.339127,-3.799456&spn=0.004923,0.009645&sll=40.337009,-3.802621&sspn=0.009846,0.01929&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=16&t=h&z=17 see here] == Public transport == Madrid has a very extensive well - connected metro system that can help you get in and out of the city; a single metro journey is 2 Euros, and a ride on the cercanías should be between 2.50 and 4 euros. If the guard is not watching, or if the metro station has two entrances, you can usually jump the turnstiles. Once inside, there are few controls. The cercanías, however, have barriers at the entry AND the exit. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
