Driving Conditions
Because of the complex geography and coastal nature of the district, roads can be windy and sometimes narrow (only one lane) - a condition to which many international drivers are not accustomed. So do not be misled by looking at a map - there are so many contrasts along the way you will frequently want to stop, explore and take pictures.
