Tips and recommendations

In the vicinity of Llanos de Alba, the route runs along the periphery of an open-pit mining operation, where you must be attentive to the intense traffic of trucks and heavy vehicles.

The stage includes long stretches of mid-mountain where there is no water, so it is advisable to replenish your canteen at the town fountains.
