I hitched from Castellbisbal in August 2006. Instead of walking back along the tracks, I crossed the road and walked down the hill, by some allotments. The guy who worked at the station pointed to the two mountains and told me to go between them. I did, and it worked. I passed under a bridge via a dirt track (the road was being built as I passed) and just past that, on my right, was the service station. I hoped the fence, crossed the footbridge, and hitched south in the shadow of a big 'X' monument. After about an hour and a half, I got picked up by an off-duty police who'd been in Barcelona for a health check up. He gave me a ride all the way to Amposta, and sang Kylie Minogue songs. Good times.

I tried BellaTerra. It is hopeless place! Way better go to Montcada. Mirto 11:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Montcada

Someone posted the following report under the Montcada open: April 16, 2011: Tried this option today. We were told to get off the highway by workers at the toll road. Forced to an exit by more toll road workers. Then picked up by the police and dropped off the station back to Barcelona. Incredibly hard to hitch hike from this area because it's highly discouraged. I don't understand this, as Montcada describes a petrol station. Why then would these hitchhikers have had problems with toll booth workers? CRCulver 21:07, 16 April 2011 (CEST)

There is a major toll gate not too far from Montcada. Its quite possible a driver left these guys off there as it has plenty of traffic going North. I've used it going both directions with no problem in broad daylight and in the middle of the night. Maybe these guys were attracting too much attention, or were acting unsafe. Usually the Autopista staff and policia are no problem, at worst stop and tell you to stand well in. haggismn 02:03, 9 October 2011 (BST)
