Has anyone done the above? 14 day tour around Spain.
Am thinking of doing it next year.

Days 7 & 8 show the route using the A-7/E-15 Autovia, avoid it and take the N-340 instead.
Since the Autovia has been completed to Almeria the old coast road is almost empty of traffic.
I also prefer the A-366 from Alozaina to Ronda rather than dropping down to Marbella and then taking the A-397.
I've done both and in my opinion the A-366 is better.
T... They garner them from various sources (their own, other ‘sister’ magazines, third parties) so they cover a reasonably broad spread. That being said, as a mass market magazine, catering for a whole bunch of riders’ skills and wants, they maybe head towards ‘comfortable’ riding, so don’t expect too many gnarly goat tracks or epic 1000 mile iron arse days. ...
And I can tell you that when I did the initial research that led to that tour in Spain, the two most-recommended roads were the N260 in the Pyrenees and the A397 from San Pedro to Ronda. But it was the A397 that almost everyone mentioned.
Hi Simon,
thanks for all the effort put into the routes that you provide.
I was a little surprised that your route diverted down to Marbella to take the A-397 as the more direct route would be to take the A-366, two of us have local knowledge and agree that the A-366 is the better route. I was certainly not dismissing the work that you've put in just offering advice to tweak it slightly with some local knowledge.
Next time your down this way have a look at the A-366.
Keep up the good work!
I hesitated before replying because, obviously, as the bloke who plotted the route I could be seen as biased...
