Sarrión - Puebla de Valverde

This long stage enters the heart of La Mancha. The profile is mostly flat. The landscape is that of the Manchegan plain, with its fields of cereal and vineyards. The great incentive of the journey is the arrival at Consuegra, one of the icons of La Mancha. Its Calderico hill, crowned by twelve windmills and an imposing medieval castle, forms one of Spain's most famous scenes. It is a compulsory stop on Don Quixote's route.
