Correct answer
- CPor la izquierda.On the left.
Explanation
When there is no usable pedestrian area, pedestrians walk on the left-hand hard shoulder in their direction of travel or, if there is none, on the carriageway, as far from vehicles as possible (Article 122.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). That way they can see approaching vehicles face on.
