New AP7 Motorway connects Cartagena with Almeria
A brand new motorway has just opened connecting Cartagena to Almeria. This is the first of three new roads which will dramatically change the connections to the Costa Calida area. The other two roads are still under construction, due to open this year. The main resort to benefit from these new connections is Condado de Alhama, although all resorts will now have better access to Almeria and Granada, including the skiing areas of the Sierra Nevada. The new section of the AP7 motorway leads from Cartagena, past Mazarron and down to Almeria.
