Tembleque to Almonacid de Toledo

This long stage enters the Tierra de Barros region, the heart of Extremadura's wine country. The profile is a gentle rise and fall through a sea of vineyards. It's a beautiful journey, though very exposed to the sun. The route passes by Villafranca de los Barros. The destination is Almendralejo, "The Cava City", an important service center and the perfect place to taste the region's wines and cava.
