Go to Santa Justa train station and take Cercanias C-5 (Virgen del Rocio - Benacazon), in direction "Benacazon". There is a train each hour for 3,30€. Buy the ticket from Santa Justa to Benacazon. Try to get a ride at the very train station, just ask to reach the town ("¿Me puede llevar a l pueblo?" in spanish) or "Las nieves" petrol station ("Me puede llevar a la gasolinera de las nieves"). If you are unlucky, just walk across the road to the village (the one with a bike lane at the right side, and there ask for the motorway or "Andalusí Park" hotel ("Por donde se va a la autovia" / "Por donde se va al hotel Andalusí Park"). Leave the hotel at your right, walk across the bridge over the motorway and you will see the petrol station. From there you can get a long ride, since the station is far away enough from Sevilla. It has a lot of activity, specialy in summer time. But if everything goes bad, just ask for a ride to the next petrol station in Chucena, a big one with restaurant, lot of services, and many cars and trucks for you to try. My experience: It takes me two minutes to find a car outside the Cercanias station. They took me directly to the petrol station and there, in 5-10 minutes, I found a car to Bollullos Par del Condado, my destination.
=== North towards Extremadura ([[Mérida]], Badajoz, etc.) & Castilla y León ===Go to the Estacion de Autobuses Plaza de Armas (main bus station ) and take the line bus 41 (ask again to be sureconfirmed) headed towards Camas and Santiponce, the . The ticket costs around 1'45€55€ (c. 2016).Get down at Ask the bus driver for la "ultimata parada" (last stop) in Santiponce, this is a tiny industrial outskirts town. Walk back towards the little rest area on the right of the picture shown on the link below. Itfrom which it's not fantastic, but I believe this is definitely the best spot you can find a short walk to get El Camino de Santiago (yay!) and also an on to -ramp for the E-Highway 803 legally and safelyto Mérida. Tip: Nihilobstat [[http://hitchwiki.org/members/Nihilobstat/]] got super lucky because during the oranges season a man sets a stand right there to sell oranges, and some extra cars stop there because they know about it :-)If there isn't much traffic going by, you can always "dangerously" walk up to the highway and try to find a car there. I didn't find any other possible spot going out north from Sevilla.

2nd option. (Honestly probably not worth it)
Follow the directions above. Then follow the Camino santiago trail through the fields after 40minutes you should see petrol station on your left. Pass underneath the highway and you should be there. Takes about an hour to walk. This petrol station serves both the highway and the route nacional and plenty of cars stop here going in all directions.
