Top Places You’ll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Puerto del Viento
Puerto del Viento, translating to “Wind Pass,” is a breathtaking mountain pass in Andalusia offering dramatic views over rolling hills and valleys. Favored by adventurers and nature lovers, the pass winds through scenic landscapes dotted with olive groves and rugged cliffs. Its elevated position provides spectacular sunrise and sunset vistas, making it a must-see spot for photographers and anyone seeking the wild beauty of southern Spain.

Puente Nuevo – Ronda
Spanning the dramatic El Tajo Gorge, Puente Nuevo stands as Ronda's architectural marvel. Completed in 1793 after 34 years of meticulous construction, this 66-meter-long stone bridge connects the city's old and new quarters. Its central arch, towering 105 meters above the Guadalevín River, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Andalusian countryside. A chamber above the arch, once used as a prison during the Spanish Civil War, now houses an exhibition.

Zahara de la Sierra Castle
Perched atop a hill in Zahara de la Sierra, this medieval castle offers commanding views over the turquoise Zahara reservoir and surrounding mountains. Dating back to the Moorish period, the fortress is a striking symbol of Andalusian history, with towers, battlements, and ancient walls to explore. The castle provides a fantastic vantage point for photography and a tangible connection to Spain’s storied past.

Pico de las Nieves
At 1,949 meters, Pico de las Nieves is the highest point on Gran Canaria. The summit offers panoramic views over the island’s volcanic landscapes, including the iconic Roque Nublo and distant coastline. It is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists seeking challenging climbs, and on clear days, you can even see neighboring islands such as Tenerife and La Palma.

El Tajo Gorge
El Tajo Gorge is a dramatic chasm that splits the town of Ronda, with sheer cliffs dropping nearly 100 meters into the Guadalevín River below. The gorge is flanked by whitewashed buildings, historic bridges, and viewpoints that reveal the region’s geological grandeur. A walk along the cliff edges or across Puente Nuevo provides unforgettable vistas of the river, cliffs, and surrounding mountains.
