Coastal road from Santa Pola to Arenales del Sol. Very touristy area, especially with motorhomes.

Well done, probably because of the houses and condominiums opposite. When you drive there, coming from a dune landscape, you wouldn't expect anything like this here. Very nice little place, there are also original, typical Spanish bars that serve good and inexpensive food. That's how I got to know and appreciate this place. Don't be put off by the high-rise buildings. Before and after the place you experience pure nature! 👍

Clog, don't spill. Here with granite paving (?). A broad, beautiful boulevard. The cycle path runs right next to it.
