Stage Description

This long and demanding stage enters the westernmost zone of Asturias. The profile is a continuous "breakneck" with several climbs and descents of consideration. It's a day of great solitude, crossing a rural and wooded landscape. The route moves away from the coast in many stretches. Arrival at La Caridad, a village with an interesting Indian heritage, offers well-deserved rest after one of the hardest stages of the North Way.
