Near the metro station "Ciudad de los Ángeles" is a petrol station that is a fairly good spot to start from. This same road (Av. de Andalucia) leads South, toward the entrance to the Autovía del Sur, which goes to Córdoba and Algeciras. Unfortunately, along Av. de Andalucia, there is no emergency stopping lane, and thus, cars have no space to stop and pull over for hitchhikers (even at the bus stops!). However, there are many traffic lights that allow vehicles the opportunity to slow down and stop. Not far from the entrance to the autovía (maybe only about 5 or 10 km down) is another petrol station. So, you don´t even hypothetically need to find a ride that is going ver far from this point because you can simlpy ask to be dropped at the next petrol station on the Autovía del Sur.
== East, toward [[Valencia]] ==
This is a very good place to hitchhike to Valencia.
Take the metro 9 direction Arganda del Rey (it costs 1 euro for regular zone ticket + 1 euro for extra zone, you have to buy 2 different tickets), and stop at 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 highway, on the left there is a petrol station + an highway entry. Combine sign + asking people. And be patient, it's Spain you know ;-)
== North East, towards [[Zaragoza]] and [[Barcelona]] ==
