Champlin - Charity, Illinois

This stage leaves the coast to venture into the mountains of Vizcaya. The route is a continuous up and down through a landscape of forests and farmhouses. It's a day of great beauty and physical demand. Arrival in Markina-Xemein, a village with a rich heritage and a tranquil atmosphere, is well-deserved rest. It's an stage that marks the transition from the coast to the mountains, a challenge that rewards with spectacular landscapes.
