Description

Very long road, big sister of the GC-75. The road can be divided into two parts: the first, from Galdàr to the Mirador Astronomino de los Pinos de Galdàr, is a road that's barely adequate, narrow, with asphalt in some spots that's very worn, and which passes through many towns offering little driving pleasure. The second part instead, from about halfway to the Mirador Astronomino de los Pinos de Galdàr, is a much more beautiful road, immersed in greenery, very fun to drive. Luckily, the first part can easily be replaced with the GC-75, which starts from the ocean a short distance from the beginning of the GC-70 and rejoins about halfway. If you can, always opt for this combo.
