=== Northwest towards [[Valladolid]] and [[Burgos]] {{Aes|A-62}} {{E|80}} ===
<!--Until I can get the details Ill put this general guide. (anonymous hitchhiker)-->
Near ''Plaza de España'' go to the address ''Gran Via 41'', which is under the stone arch walkway just past the post office (Correos). Right in front of that address are a bunch of blue and white signs, one of which says ''Polígono Los Villares de la Reina'', línea 25. This is your bus. It's one of the red buses. Make sure you ''do not'' take the bus to ''Polígono Santa Marta''. If you continue to where the arches stop there is an electronic sign that says when the buses arrive. This bus will take you through the industrial area with lots of warehouses. When you see the big metal sculpture in the middle of a big roundabout, get off the bus. The sculpture is a metal loop with a curved rod running through it. This is the beginning of the motorway {{Aes|A-62}} towards Valladolid, and there is a big shoulder where cars can pull over easily. ¡Buena suerte compañeros y compañeras!
=== South towards [[Cáceres]] {{Aes|A-66}} {{E|803}} ===
'''Option 1:''' Take the bus Linea 11, direction "Buenos Aires", get out at the last stop.
This bus will take you to the western most extremities of the city from which you will be able to hitch a ride along the A-62 west and of course the A-66 south.
The best spot to start looking for a ride south would be the one shown on the link below. You have to walk from where the bus drops you towards the highway, jump a fence to reach it and then cross it to the other side, but then as you can see at the left of the map in the link you will find a nice flat land field where cars can safely stop to pick you up.

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.
