When you pass a windmill look for a junction marked SUCINA, EL GARRUCHA, you will see a BBQ restaurant on the other side of the road.
Continue to a mini roundabout and turn left over a bridge over the dual carriageway, to another mini-roundabout. Take the second exit and take the road to your right marked URBANISATION it is in front of greenhouses and runs parallel with the dual carriageway.
Ignore the 'No Entry' sign, it has a yellow background and I think it means 'No Through Road'.
