In February, there was almost no traffic on the N340, but the views were sometimes spectacularly beautiful and the asphalt was perfect. What's more, the gradient is extremely gentle, which also makes the route attractive for rest days. The last section up to the Atalaya de Cerro Gordo is poorly surfaced, but there is an almost continuous line in the middle of the road without any major potholes.

Im Februar war auf der N340 fast nichts los, die Aussichten dafür teils spektakulär schön und der Asphalt perfekt. Dazu kommt die extrem geringe Steigung, die die Strecke auch für Restdays attraktiv macht. Das letzte Stück hoch zum Atalaya de Cerro Gordo ist schlecht asphaltiert, aber in der Mitte der Straße gibt es fast durchgehend eine Linie ohne größere Schlaglöcher. Also ganz sicher auf Reifen > 25mm sehr gut fahrbar. Die Abfahrt nach La Herradura ist dann wiederum perfekt asphaltiert!

The descent towards Nerja is a bit like a downhill slalom to avoid the holes in the tarmac. An adventure, though, and more fun than the tunnel.

De afdaling richting Nerja heeft wel iets weg van een afdaling slalom om de gaten in het asfalt te ontwijken. Wel een avontuur en leuker dan de tunnel.

A drive partly along the main road with heavy traffic. Just before the tunnel, there is the exit and you take the old road. Here the driving is quiet but the road surface is much worse because of no maintenance but oven you have a very nice view.

een rit gedeeltelijk langs de grote weg met druk verkeer. net voor de tunnel is er de afslag en neem je de oude weg. Hier is het rustig rijden maar is het wegdek veel slechter wegens geen onderhoud maar oven heb je wel een zeer mooi uitzicht.
