Castellar to Guadiaro Scenic Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

An impressive, beautiful route over the mountain with great views.
The asphalt is mostly fine, but there is severe damage in places that could be dangerous if you descend quickly.
There is a bike path that is sometimes really bad.

Castellar Nuevo de la Frontera

Highlight • Settlement

Castellar "El Nuevo" is a modern part of Castellar de la Frontera, inaugurated in 1971. The most interesting places in the town are: the Divino Salvador Church with the image of the Santísimo Cristo de la Almoraima and the Plaza Andalucía with a sculpture that commemorates the XXV Anniversary of the creation of the new town and also another sculpture dedicated to Human Rights.

Runway at Gibraltar International Airport

Highlight • Structure

Here you have to walk across the runway if you want to go to Gibraltar. It's really strange. You can watch the planes or helicopters taking off and landing here.

View of the Rock of Gibraltar from the Sotogrande–La Alcaidesa Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A few dangerous longitudinal cracks, otherwise the asphalt quality varies from good to bad.
Very hilly with nice views parallel to the highway. A few tourists or newcomers with a very rowdy driving style (completely different from most other regions of Spain).
