This road stage runs from Santiponce to Castilblanco de los Arroyos over approximately 36 kilometres with an elevation gain of 429 metres. It is of average difficulty, ideal para cyclists with some experience who are looking for a demanding but accessible ride, combining flat sections with a gradual ascent towards the mountain range.

The route starts in Santiponce and runs along minor roads in good condition, with moderate traffic levels. As you leave the plain of Seville behind, the landscape changes to a more natural and mountainous environment. The elevation gain is constant, especially in the second half of the stage, with long but smooth uphill sections that allow the rider to maintain a steady pace.

When you arrive at Castilblanco de los Arroyos, high up in the mountains, the air is much cooler. The town, in a natural setting surrounded by grasslands, is a good place to rest, recharge your batteries, or link up with the next stage. This varied stage with a lot of character is ideal for enjoying the change from the plains to the mountains of Andalusia.

This stage from Castilblanco de los Arroyos to Santiponce covers approximately 35.5 kilometres with an elevation gain of 180 metres. The route profile, rated as ‘low-to-average’ difficulty, is downward for much of the stage and ideal for enjoying a more relaxing day after the more demanding stages in the mountains.

The route runs along minor roads, in general with good surfaces and moderate levels of vehicle traffic. It gradually descends from the mountain range to the flat lands of Seville province. The first few kilometres offer wide views of grasslands and wooded areas, while the second half of the stage can be ridden more steadily along straight sections that are ideal for maintaining a good pace.

The arrival at Santiponce, very near the Roman archaeological site of Italica, adds a cultural note at the end of the stage, ideal for cyclists looking for a combination of landscape, easy riding, and a transition between the mountains and the plains of Seville province.
