Hitchhiking to Portugal from Barcelona

It's bloody difficult, however not impossible. It will take long hours of waiting to get rides, I'd recommend getting a shared ride since the hassle is not worth the savings.

Is it like this everywhere in Spain? I've noticed for example in my country there are areas and types of roads where it's tough to get a ride, and other regions where it's quite easy. Shouldn't the coastline route be a decent chance?

When you're hitchhiking through Spain most people that will pick you up are tourists and people from France. I went hitchhiking from Barcelona to Valencia to Sevilla a while ago and relied fully on other tourists. It's not impossible like >>1068008 said. But it will be hard because it isn't really tourist season when you are going.

One more thing, is it worth going over to Morocco for a day or two?

I just realized the ferry is like 70 euro two way, something out of our budget range.

Anyone else? We'd like to buy our tickets today so I'm looking for some more input

I can confirm hitchhiking is still pretty popular in France. During one year I hitchhiked almost everyday to come home after school, my sister and her girlfriend have done it from Paris to Strasbourg without any problem and I did it once to reach Andorra from 300km away

in 4-5 days? looks really hard. Completely dump your plan of doing the mediterranean route. The green route, 1100km, that's 2 days of driving, 1 if you don't stop in the whole day.

hitchiking doubles that trouble. I doubt you'll get very lucky in the part between Madrid and Merida specially.

It also leaves you with little time for sightseeing. If I was you I'd extend your time to at least a week, or just rent a car.

You can hitch the ferry to Morocco (from Algeciras) with a truck driver. You get a free ticket, free food at the cafeteria and you can shower as well. Did it myself a yearish ago. It's all legal (spoke to a cop that was patrolling the harbour before doing so).

From Morocco to Spain I've heard it's harder though

We're doing this trip on a budget which is why we're hitchhiking it. If it turns out that getting a ride is not that easy then we might just send up taking a blablacar to Lisbon. I've had decent luck with hitchhiking before but I've never done it in Spain, I'm hoping to get some input from people that have done it there.
