In Piedrasecha, we take the Portilla de Luna road. The route reaches the upper part of the plain and reaches the top of the Coros hill, at 1,311 m above sea level. On the descent, we continue along the local road, following the bed of the Portilla River. At that point, the route exits onto the highway from La Magdalena to Barrios de Luna. This road, which runs parallel to the meanders of the Luna River, leads north and a few kilometers to our end of the stage in Vega de Caballeros.
