A dream road that can be added as a bonus on the way to Velez Malaga after the descents from Riogordo or Comares. The asphalt is perfect, the gradients are never too steep and there is almost no traffic. The descent and ascent via El Borge cannot keep up.... read more

A dream road that can be added as a bonus on the way to Velez Malaga after the descents from Riogordo or Comares. The asphalt is perfect, the gradients are never too steep and there is almost no traffic. The descent and ascent via El Borge cannot keep up.

Eine Traumstraße, die man hervorragend nach den Abfahrten von Riogordo oder Comares noch als Bonus auf dem Weg nach Velez Malaga anhängen kann. Der Asphalt ist perfekt, die Gradienten nie zu steil und es gibt fast keinen Verkehr. Die Abfahrt bzw. der Anstieg über El Borge können da nicht mithalten.
