This road on the Costa del Sol is one of the most dangerous in the whole of Spain
The Automovilistas Europeos Asociados has compiled a list of black spots on the state road network, which this year includes 270 kilometres of conventional roads and dual carriageways
It is a winding road which clings to cliffs and offers unbeatable views of the Mediterranean Sea and it is a favourite spot for motorcyclists . A section of the old N-340 road in Malaga province, on the border between Nerja and Almuñécar (Granada province), is considered one of the most dangerous in Spain. Kilometre point 302, is the most dangerous section, where in four years there have been three accidents with victims, resulting in four people injured or killed.
This is highlighted in 'The 270 most dangerous roads in Spain (2025)' report, prepared by the Automovilistas Europeos Asociados (AEA), which takes as a reference period the years 2019 to 2023 and official data from the average danger index of the Ministry of Transport.
Far from the top 100
Generally speaking Malaga province comes out quite well in the report. Firstly, because this is the only section that appears in this classification, when other areas have up to ten points listed and secondly, because the Malaga road is ranked 105th in the national ranking, so it is not even among the 100 worst.
105
This is the position of this road in the ranking of the most dangerous roads in Spain, according to the AEA organisation
