Welcome to Spain, the A is mostly used to autovías or autopistas but they can be to carreteras convencionales,, there are many hidden highways on Spain, bc they can start with different letters!
At first, I thought that was sand, but when I looked closer, I noticed the sides of the greenhouses. What do they grow in them? I suspect that is where most of Europe gets their fruits and vegetables out of season from.
What on earth do they need greenhouses for in southern Spain? You can very easily grow citrus fruit there. Whatever the reason, it makes for a surreal landscape.
Actually not, these areas are quite dry and arid. Without greenhouses water would simply go away because of the heat and they would have to constantly add more water, which would make the plantations unsustainable.
@@diogorodrigues747 Fair enough. I live in Malta, which is actually a bit more to the south, and we have oranges growing in our garden. But at least there is some rain in the winter months (although that is less than it used to, for obvious reasons).
@@diogorodrigues747 I suppose the greenhouses would also protect the produce from hail and birds eating it. Water evaporation is a good explanation as well.
These quirky disconnected autovias are a delightful part of the Spanish road experience
Great video. Thanks.👍

The A is not for "autovía", but for a secondary road in Andalucía
its an autovia alot of signs say AUTOVIA but its a regional autovia like The A92 it was built by the Junta de Andalucía not spanish state
Another great road video. Just for interest purposes "the sea of plastic" ie plastic greenhouses, can be seen from outer space.
Mi tierra ❤

Just came from a day in Spain without the S. Andalusia looks like a desert ngl. Btw I love these signs exits.

Most commonly tomatoes, El Éjido near Roquetas is famous for it.
Que buena 🛣 hay ahora. La cantidad de años que ha tardado en hacerla.
I wish they would make a bridge between Africa and Spain!
Sadly wouldnt be possible because of ships and other stuff
