Stage Description

First full stage in Asturias. The route of about 23 km runs along the eastern coast of Asturias between meadows, coastal forests and bufones (karst formations that expel water under pressure with the rough sea). The landscape is characteristic of eastern Asturias, with the Sierra del Cuera as a backdrop. Llanes is one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Asturias, with its historic port, the Cubos de la Memoria (an artistic intervention by Ibarrola) and its walled old town.
The stage that links the two major Romanesque capitals, Salamanca and Zamora, is a marathon journey. The profile is mainly flat, but the distance is a considerable challenge. The road enters the Wine Country region, in a landscape of gentle undulations covered with vineyards and fields of grain. The route passes through El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, a good point for an intermediate rest stop. It's a stage of great solitude, ideal for introspection. Arrival in Zamora is the day's big prize. This city, on the banks of the Duero River, is an outdoor art museum. Its Cathedral, with its spectacular Byzantine dome, is a unique gem. But Zamora has over twenty Romanesque churches, a castle, walls, and an enchanting old town. It's a city to stroll around, discover its corners, and enjoy its rich gastronomy.
