Stage 4. Almadén de la Plata – Monesterio (33.6 km)

Information

On today's stage, we will advance from Almadén de la Plata to the border crossing between the Andalusian and Extremaduran lands, in the locality of El Real de la Jara, to head towards Monesterio. This will take us along a long path through the numerous dehesas and the farmland of Andalusians and Extremadurans. It will also lead us across several streams that we will cross to reach our stage's end.
