Stage Description
Spectacular stage that climbs from the mining basin of Rio Tinto (with its famous lunar landscapes of reddish tones where NASA simulates Mars) to the Sierra de Aracena. The 30 km have an ascending profile with forests of holm oaks, cork oaks and chestnut trees. Aracena, capital of the Sierra, is home to the spectacular Gruta de las Maravillas (karst formations) and is the center of the Iberian acorn-fed pata negra ham.
