After this stretch, the rest of the route runs on low-traffic roads, ideal for enjoying the natural landscape.

The arrival at Alconétar Garrovillas is an additional incentive. Its imposing porticoed Plaza Mayor and interesting Historic Quarter offer riders a pleasant welcome after a demanding day. We recommend taking some water and food for the ride, as there are no refreshment points along the way.
