TheA-4 orAutovía del Sur (Spanish forSouthern Highway) is a major Spanishhighway andautopista route connectingMadrid toCádiz. One of the six radial highways of the country, it was also known asAutovía de Andalucía (Spanish forAndalusia Highway) before 2015.

The road is entirely part of theEuropean route E5. It mostly follows the path of the formerN-4 road, crossing the provinces ofMadrid,Toledo,Ciudad Real,Jaén,Córdoba,Seville andCádiz.

BetweenSeville andCádiz, the highway is known asAutopista AP-4, extending over 123.80 km. AP-4 used to be atoll road before 1 January 2020. The original N-4 in this section remained in service as a free option for this reason.

The construction works required major engineering work to tunnel throughDespeñaperros Natural Park in theProvince of Jaén, which separates the autonomous communities ofAndalusia andCastilla-La Mancha. Construction started in the 1960s, reaching the city ofSeville in 1992 and theProvince of Cádiz in the 2000s.
