I don't know Big Sur but I found the Amalfi coast very populated
(but I'm more a west coast of Scotland person, most people are far
more impressed than I was).

I thought there were crash barriers, it seems fairly narrow to
Americans I think. As a Brit I didn't think it merited mention driving
wise, there are many more difficult roads about. To generalise about
driving, live Italians don't do not paying attention, but they do tend
to do overtaking in optimistic places! If you want Italian driving at
its best, try Napoli. But don't think inattention or slow reactions
are going to be adequate!

You're quite far south do it should be reasonably temperate, nothing
better.
