Well. I think where that location is.

That is South Spain, in a region called Andalucia. That place is close to a small village: Montejaque, surrounded by many rocky mountains in Grazalema's Natural Park.

I usually mountain biking in the area, so I't wasn´t difficult to recognize the location.

This time of the year, it's very usual to see different car's makes testing their new cars here. Yesterday I saw 20 Mazdas.

Best Regards

Well spotted, Nikel.

Usually, we get photomode locations because they're of any relevance to the automotive world or are close to a racing track (although we do get some locations just because they're breathtaking). Ahrweiler, for instance is in GT5 because it's the name of the district where the Nurburgring is at. Maybe the proximity of 3 racing tracks to this location isn't just a coincidence?

[Samus]

Or maybe it is and Acura chose this location simply because they liked it?
