[[Valencia]] is a major city in [[Spain]]. People are not used to seeing hitchhikers, but at the major petrol stations there are many foreigners whom you can ask for lifts. There are three main motorways to [[Barcelona]] ([[AP7]]{{Aes|AP-7}}), [[Madrid]] (A3{{Aes|A-3}}), and along the coast south towards [[Alicante]], [[Granada]] and [[Sevilla]] (A7, AP7).
__NOTOC__
;Second option
There is a new-built gas station just a little north of the division of the motorway into A7 {{Aes|A-7}} and [[AP7]]{{Aes|AP-7}}, close to Torrent. Take metro line 1 direction Villanueva de Castellón and get off at Realon or Sant Ramon, which is about a 25 minute ride from centre. There you have to go direction Santa Apolonia, check before on [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Carretera+desconocida&daddr=Carretera+desconocida+to:Carretera+desconocida&hl=es&geocode=FWz2WAId-N74_w%3BFSA0WQIdUIX4_w%3BFVJSWQIdnvX4_w&mra=ls&dirflg=w&doflg=ptk&sll=39.397668,-0.475588&sspn=0.030444,0.055189&ie=UTF8&ll=39.398,-0.473785&spn=0.030444,0.055189&z=14 GoogleMaps] or [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMaps], it's about a 4 km walk. [[User:Jeensg|Jeensg]] got a ride south directly to Granada, generally it's {{good}} regarding Spanish gas stations.

There is a [[roundabout]] just where the motorway starts in '''Valencia'''. This is a good place where cars can stop but it is at the edge of the city. Use a sign. You can get rides to Alicante, [[Granada]] and [[Sevilla]], either by the 'national motorway' (A7) {{Aes|A-7}} through the center or the toll-motorway along the coast (AP7){{Aes|AP-7}}.
The roundabout is located on the street ''Ave. de Ausias March'' in the south of the city, close to the river. It is a 15–20 minute walk from the main train station, and metro stations ''Jesus'' or ''Xativa''.
