The road heads through the Sierra Nevada passing over the Puerto del Suspiro del Moro (865 m). It then passes to the east of Granada the north of which is a junction with the Autovía A-92. The road heads north through the Sierra de Lucena by the Puerto del Carretero (1,040 m). It then follows the valley of the Rio Guadaldulón to Jaen. It then joins the Autovía A-4 at Bailén.
