💡 Good to know

Drier months usually suit the long EN1 drive, but daylight, road, fuel, local safety and coastal weather checks still control every travel day. No sea state or wildlife encounter is promised.
The rainy and tropical-weather period can flood roads or interrupt travel at short notice. Check current INAM warnings and road advice before departure and each morning; delay or change the route rather than drive into unsafe conditions.
