This stage is approaching the great city of Bilbao. The profile is a continuous rise and fall through the hills surrounding Gernika Estuary. It's a beautiful day that alternates rural zones with more populated areas. The route passes through forests and offers panoramic views. Arrival in Lezama, a town in Asua Valley, famous for hosting the training facilities of Athletic Club Bilbao, offers a peaceful break before entering the great city.
