Coastal Road from La Rábita to Adra

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very good to sometimes extremely bad asphalt (2023) but very nice coastal road with very little traffic (there is only a lot going on between Adra and the motorway junction). This section is mostly flat.

Adra (Torre de los Perdigones)

Highlight • Monument

It does not go unnoticed when one approaches Adra. It looks on the horizon. It serves as a reference point. It is the Tower of the Pellets, the emblem of the city of Adra. It was built for the manufacture of pellets

From Berja to La Curva

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Not so nice track but good asphalt and if you want to go up mountains from Adra this is the easiest way. The route further west is IMHO nicer to drive and there is (at least on a Saturday in February) significantly less traffic. I have also entered the route as a highlight with pictures.

From Berja to Benínar Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice route with mostly very good asphalt (2023).
From Bejar to the reservoir (i.e. north-west) it is nicer because you cannot see the plastic fields. It's best not to fall, the "guardrails" are low (if they exist at all) and it's partly steep downhill.

Benínar Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Reservoir fed by the waters of the Grande de Adra river that descends from Sierra Nevada. The name of the reservoir is due to the fact that it was built on the town of Beninar, which has been left under its waters. The area is surrounded by mountains and rich vegetation, offers a spectacular view of nature.

Small road from the center of Lucainena, passing through Darrícal and afterwards, ending at the Presa de Benínar. The narrow road but surrounded by beautiful places and that follows the Río Ugíjar.

Ugíjar

Highlight • Settlement

Population geographically located in the center of the Alpujarras, and where it is one of the centers that make up this well-known area of the province of Granada. From this point you can go to a large number of surrounding towns, headed by Sierra Nevada.
