Stage Description

This stage enters the Natural Park of Barranco del Río Dulce, one of Guadalajara's most spectacular landscapes. The profile is a continuous rise and fall. The route follows the river canyon, with its vertical walls and beaver lodges. It is a day of great natural beauty, which was the setting for Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente's documentaries. Arrival at Mandayona, a village on the exit from the park, marks the end of an unforgettable stage.
