It is at the bend at the lighthouse Calaburras. <a title=\"Speed limit control A7 km 205\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/@36.508716,-4.637294,3a,75y,219.4h,82.44t\/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sbiu9PVwNHmqsdExceB850w!2e0?hl=es\">See link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On this stretch the speed limit is <strong>80 km<\/strong> and at the end of the stretch at La Cala de Mijas km.200 the camera will calculate if you have driven an average of 80 km\/h. Therefore, it is not enough to slow down at the one speed limit point, but you have to keep the speed limit throughout the journey! And of course the same happens if you come from the opposite direction, from La Cala de Mijas towards Fuengirola.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speed limit control through the tunnel at Torrox \u2013 on the road A 7 from km 287.7 -288.7<\/strong><br \/>\nThe second point is on the<strong> A-7 towards Nerja<\/strong>, from km 287.7 to km 288.7.\u00a0 It is in the<strong> tunnel at Torrox where you can drive 100 km\/h<\/strong>.\u00a0 Also in this case the cameras will <strong>calculate the average speed through the tunnel<\/strong> and it must not exceed the limit, if it does, a photo is taken as you leave the tunnel and the fine automatically processed.<\/p>\n<p>Should you be so unlucky to get a speeding ticket, remember that <strong>Helle Hollis will forward you an information letter with a copy of the fine<\/strong>, so you are informed about the case. It is important to emphasize that it is<strong> only when you receive the original fine in your name that you have to pay it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can in some cases get<strong> 50% discount<\/strong> if you pay within a certain number of days. The payment can be done online at DGT (The Official Spanish Traffic website).\u00a0 As the website is in Spanish we have translated the procedure into English which we can forward to you.<\/p>\n<p>You are also welcome to contact us by phone or email so we can assist you. Therefore remember, first you will receive a notification of the fine with an information letter from Helle Hollis.\u00a0 Until this is in your own name you cannot pay it, and this will be a second letter, but from the authority making the fine.\u00a0 Some municipalities may take several months before they forward a fine and some don\u2019t forward the fine at all.<\/p>\n<p>We wish you <strong>safe driving<\/strong> \u2013 and great holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have already reminded you a few weeks ago that there are many speed limit controls on the Spanish roads, but unfortunately every day we continue to receive a huge number of speeding tickets.
