Stage Description
This stage is famous for its impressive views and for the vertiginous descent to Grandas de Salime reservoir. The journey begins at high altitude before starting a very pronounced and technical descent of over 600 meters of drop-off. The landscape is spectacular. After crossing the dam, one faces a final ascent to reach Grandas de Salime. It's a short but intense stage with unforgettable landscape beauty.
This long stage enters the Pinares region, on a route that combines sections of the ancient Roman road with trails through forests. It is a day of great beauty and solitude. The arrival at San Leonardo de Yagüe, a village with an impressive castle, is a monumental final stage. This stage requires good physical effort but rewards with unforgettable landscapes.
