DRIVE FROM MALAGA
Leave Malaga Airport car park taking the exit marked "Cadiz / Malaga". This is a small white sign and comes immediately after leaving the car park ticket barrier. If you are not leaving from the car park, look for the road signs to "Cadiz/ Malaga". Continue in the direction of Malaga. Look for the MOTRIL signposts and follow these onto the N340/E15. You are now heading in the direction of Almeria.
Stay on the N340 passing Velez Malaga, Torrox, Nerja, and then after the tunnel Cerro Gordo you will come upon the wonderful bay of La Herradura (The Horseshoe).
Once you enter La Herradura you have left the Costa del Sol and are now on the Costa Tropical.
Next (3 minutes) will come Cotobro and then (2 minutes) Almuñecar.
After Almuñecar you will shortly (5 minutes) come to a large sign on the right hand side announcing your arrival in Salobreña.
Approximately 1 mile further on you will pass the "Hotel Salobrena" again this is on your right, it's easy to spot being the only hotel on this part of the coast. There are six flags at the entrance to the hotel - The name board reads “Best Western Hotel Salobreña” – it is a bit tricky to see in the dark. After the hotel (2 minutes) you will come to La Caleta de Salobreña and then (1 minute) Salobreña village .
The N340 continues along the coast to Motril (2 minutes) then to Torrenueva (3 minutes).
Next along the coast is Calahonda (5 minutes), Carchuna (5 minutes) (Castel de Ferro 5 minutes) and finally to Rabite wher you leave the Costa Tropical and enter The Costa Almeria.
NB. The N340 is the name of the old road. It is gradually being replaced by the E15 which is the name of the motorway. Where they run together both numbers are shown.

Continue South on the E902 over the high plains of almond and olives passing the towns of Padul and Durcal on your left.
