Stage Description

Stage of the Via Augusta Cadiz following the ancient Roman route of the Via Heraklea. The 28 km link Jerez de la Frontera (capital of the sherry D.O., with its centenary cellars and the school of Equestrian Art) with El Cuervo de Sevilla through the Jerez countryside: albariza vineyards, stud farms and farmhouses. Flat stage ideal for a relaxed walk among the aroma of the wineries.
The stage that connects Arbas del Puerto with Pola de Lena is the heart of the Forgotten Path, the journey through the Cantabrian Mountains. The journey begins with an ascent to Pajares Pass. Once at the top, almost 1,400 meters above sea level, one enters Asturias. From here on, a long and pronounced descent of over 1,000 meters of drop-off begins. The path descends through the valley of the Pajares River in a spectacular landscape. The descent is very demanding for the knees, so it's recommended to take it calmly. It passes by several villages perched on the slope. Arrival at Pola de Lena, capital of the concejo, marks the end of the stage. This important village, located at the bottom of the valley, is a service center with a great range of accommodations and restaurants. It's an ideal stop to recover from the tough descent.
