Mountain passes, coast roads, volcanoes and desert drives. Say hola to five of the best Detours in Spain.

Where the earth holds up the sky

If you leave the beaches behind and head into Tenerife’s volcanic interior you’ll find an extraordinary landscape of lava fields and the breathtaking Mount Teide. Find out more.

Sa Calobra

The road to Sa Calobra is the marvel of Majorca. This switchback-strewn stretch famously features an amazing 270-degree corner that could have come straight from your favourite Scalextric set. Find out more.

Cap de Formentor

The climb up to the Cap de Formentor lighthouse on Majorca was cut into the island by the same engineer as Sa Calobra and it’s another mega drive not to be missed. Find out more.

Puerto de Velefique

This desert drive is known as Spain’s Stelvio Pass and throws 20 hairpin bends at drivers as it climbs to over 1,800m. Find out more.

The Road of a Thousand Bends

The name is only a slight exaggeration. This extraordinarily twisty coast road on the Costa Brava has long been usurped by a modern dual carriageway, leaving it to locals and drivers seeking an unforgettable experience. Find out more.
