Hitching Out
South: Aveiro, Lisbon, Algarve
Going South can be hard, even when you start from within the nearby city of Gaia, which is just across the Douro River. The best spot in Gaia is probably a roundabout, just after the last metro stop (and ironically, just past the main street that leads to the highway). Keep walking straight along this main street, stay to the right as it drops down and becomes the highway. You'll see a bridge connecting the two sides of the road that don't become highway, and just past this: a roundabout, which also has a part leading to the highway. This is an okay spot to stand, even at night, with plenty of room for cars and trucks to pull over.
