Why You Must Avoid the N-340 Highway in Summer

The N-340 is the longest national road in Spain, hugging the Mediterranean coastline. While iconic, the stretch between Fuengirola, Marbella, and Estepona is fundamentally unable to handle the sheer volume of high-season tourist traffic.

The Gridlock Reality

During July and August, the N-340 suffers from continuous tailbacks. The frequent roundabouts, pedestrian crossings, and merging lanes create a relentless stop-start driving experience. Attempting to catch an urgent flight using this road introduces massive risk.

The Strategic Alternative

Our chauffeurs act strategically to protect your timeline:

• Proactive Avoidance: The AP-7 toll option is selected by default on our bookings for the fastest route. It acts as an elevated bypass, soaring above the gridlocked coastal towns.
• Your Choice: However, we give you the ultimate choice. You can easily deselect the toll option when booking if you prefer the coastal A-7 and want a slightly cheaper fare.
• Local Knowledge: If an accident blocks the toll road, our drivers rely on local GPS mapping to navigate via secondary inland routes, keeping you moving at all costs.
