In reply to Anita @ No Particular Place To Go. I guess I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys driving on roads like this. This time, though, I was driving alone, and I enjoyed the challenge, but wished I could enjoy more of the scenery!

I’m a very “faint hearted” driver, especially when heights and hairpin curves are involved. However this drive looks like something not to be missed – breathtaking! Maybe we’ll have to hire a local and just sit back and enjoy Costa Blanca instead of white-knuckling it! Hope to visit this area next year.

In reply to nancie. But if you hitchhiked you might get someone who drives really crazily! I'd rather have some control over the situation!

I love the views, so maybe the drive would be worth it. Then again, maybe I could hitchhike, and leave the driving to someone else. I’d volunteer to be the head navigator 🙂 Thanks for hosting this week. #TPThursday

Oh yes, hairpin turns on cliff-hanging roads from Mallorca to Maui. On the Road to Hana, Pete said 30mph never felt so fast! You’re right about slowing down, particularly when things get narrow. Leave the drama to the locals and get out alive! Fun post – we’ve got the Costa Blanca on our list.

In reply to Michele {Malaysian Meanders}. I know what you mean! But that's perfect if your husband wants to do the driving! Then you can actually look at the scenery. And you can ask him to stop the car so you can jump out and take a quick picture, then jump back in quickly if another car comes along and he has to get going. My husband also likes to do the driving on roads like that, which is fine with me. Unfortunately I was alone this time.

Hmmm… I’m not sure that you’ve convinced me to drive this area. It sounds scary, although I do usually leave driving to my husband so that I am free to look around (or nap). The area does look lovely, though.

In reply to Sophie@ Sophie's World. Guadalest is GORGEOUS! Hmm, must find photos so I can write a post about Guadalest! Thanks for the reminder!

The hinterland is more interesting than the beaches here in this part of Spain, I think.
I drove from Altea to Guadalest once. It was many years ago, but I seem to remember it was a very nice drive.
