Zaragoza to Pont du Dordo

This stage is approaching the important city of Valladolid, following in large part along the course of the River Duero. The profile is flat and the landscape is dominated by pines and riverbank vegetation. It's a pleasant journey that culminates in the local town of Puente Duero, at the gates of the capital. Its famous medieval bridge, which gives the town its name, is the main landmark of the day. It's an approach stage that allows for a peaceful break before entering the large city.
