Descent stage to the Bierzo. From Brañuelas, in the mining basin, the route descends to the Sil valley passing through railway and mining villages. The 18 km have a descending profile with demanding sections. Bembibre is one of the main towns of Bierzo Alto, with an urban center linked to the railroad and mining, and the traditional nerve center of the region before Ponferrada.
