Nazari Bridge of Tablate

Highlight • Bridge

This ancient bridge is spectacular. Crossed it offers views of the surrounding landscape, such as those of the Béznar reservoir lake located in the Lecrin valley. This lake has an area of 170 hectares. The dam was created for the production of electrical energy.

View of the Rules Reservoir from the Road Between Ízbor and Vélez de Benaudalla

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Partly very good, partly very bad to dangerous asphalt (nasty bumps and heels, which are not so fun when driving downhill from north to south at high speed). Awesome views of the reservoirs and bridges and very little traffic. So definitely recommended. Parallel to this road, a great road leads west through the mountains, so you can plan a great round tour.

Rules Reservoir dam

Highlight • Monument

The Rules Reservoir Dam is an impressive hydraulic structure located in the Alpujarras of Granada, which retains the waters of the Guadalfeo River. Surrounded by a mountain landscape, it offers spectacular views where the water merges with the natural surroundings.

Béznar to Ízbor Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

No traffic at all north of the Autobahn entrance, but mostly bad and dirty roads, since hardly any cars get lost here, they drive onto the Autobahn. But it's OK and only a few kilometers long.

Circuito de Karting Access Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very variable quality of the road (see pictures). Very short stretches of up to 20% incline. You can drive, but IMHO it's better via the villages west of the highway.

Talará Fountain

Highlight • Structure

The Talará fountain is located next to the church. It has water and is perfect for refilling your water bottles.

N-323a: Mondújar to Dúrcal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Although it is the N-323a, there is hardly any traffic here because drivers usually take the motorway. The road is in good condition (2023) and there is a great view. The slope is still single digits. From Dúrcal to the north, however, the N-323a is no longer beautiful and by Spanish standards it is heavily trafficked, which I would avoid heading north if possible.
