A-372, safe to drive? I see around Grazalema it is narrow to 1.5 total lanes for both directions?
As a tourist, how dangerous is A-372? it goes through many loops in the mountains and looks like there isn’t enough road to fit even 2 cars, how is it not a one way road?! I am hoping to drive from Cadiz to Ronda, can’t see other options…

Car or no car for our trip?
My husband and I are planning a short trip next month, just before Christmas. We’ve wanted to go back to Andalucia since our first visit in 2018, when we were in Malaga, Granada, and Sevilla. We’re flying into Malaga and planning to spend one night there (no hotel booked yet)…
