Though not long, Carretera De Sa Calobra is still fraught with danger. In addition to its twists and turns (which make it a “Snake”), the road has tons of traffic in the summer. This is unfortunate as “The Snake” is extremely narrow and nearly impassable for two cars at one time. In the rain, the asphalt also becomes very slick and unsafe.
