Route description:
You drive uphill on a narrow, paved, winding mountain road and reach a junction, the start of this route. Here, continue straight ahead onto the dirt track. It leads through pine trees; the surface is compacted, with potholes at the beginning. The ground is a clayey gray, not gravel. There are occasional views stretching to the sea. You pass antennas; from here on, the surface is a mix of tarmac fragments and gravel. After three-quarters of the way along, you emerge into the open and look down at the route ahead. One hairpin bend follows another. Highlights include colorful mountain slopes that glow in purple hues, often tempting you to stop and capture them in photos. Truly breathtaking! The dirt track ends at the parking lot of Mini Hollywood (a film set).

A small, partially paved, partially gravel road then takes us into the mountains of the Sierra Alhamilla National Park. The rocks here are almost purple, a true spectacle of color when the sun shines on them. After a while, we reach a small radar station where the gravel road begins.

The gravel road stretches from radar station to radar station. At the last and largest station, you can enjoy the view all the way to the sea near Almeria. You can also see the many tomato fields down in the valley. On the other side, there's a view of the national parks with their mountains.

We continue driving through the Sierra, where the road descends from almost 1300 meters to 200 meters in the valley. At the end of today's tour, we pass through a small town where you can take a lovely break.
