→Est towards Avila and Madrid {{Aes|A-50}}
From Plaza España, take the bus Linea 11, direction "Buenos Aires". This bus will take you to the eastern most extremities of the city from which you will be able to hitch a ride along the A-62 west and the A-66 south. Get out of the bus at the last stop, and follow the signs. You will get to a big roundabout. You can try to hitchhike from there, but there is a lot of cars going in many direction and even the ones taking the turn that says 'Portugal' are mostly going to the local industrial zone. You'll be much better off if you walk 1km next to the road to get to a second roundabout where you can hitch in direction of Portugal. Plenty of space for cars to stop. You're also likely to get a lift to one of the gas stations on the A-62 highway. Talking to people there can get you going much faster and further than hitching by the road (remember, it's Spain).
Note: If your ride is only taking you to somewhere near Vilar Formoso border and you want to go further in Portugal, stay at the last Cepsa gas station on the right side of the road, 5kms before the border. Gas is cheaper in Spain, and many cars fill up their tanks in there before entering Portugal. Getting into Villar Formoso can get you stuck there, especially out of tourist season when the traffic is almost exclusively local.
=== Est towards [[Avila]] and [[Madrid]] {{Aes|A-50}} ===
Go to "Ctra Madrid". Just before the centro comercial EL TORMES, there is a roundabout with a bus stop, and cars can either take the A50 or the N501, which both lead to Avila and Madrid. The hitchhiking spot is 30-40 minutes away from the center by foot, but you can also take the bus at Gran Via, to centro comercial el tormes.
