This link will open using lightbox, there may be a context switch Leaving Triollo along the so-called Carretera de los Pantanos, the stage begins with the ascent of Alto La Varga (1,435 m), a route that passes through the town of La Lastra. Once you have reached the top, where there is a viewpoint with magnificent views, you take a track to the right that follows the Carrión- Pisuerga divide in the direction of the La Peña mountain range. However, soon there is a detour to the left through which the route makes a dizzying descent to the hidden village of Rebanal de Las Llantas.
Once in Rebanal , continue along the road that connects the town with San Martín de los Herreros and, following the valley of the Rivera River, you will reach the town of Ventanilla. At this point the asphalt is abandoned again to continue bordering the Ruesga reservoir on its right bank. Arriving at the reservoir wall, you cross a recreational area, before descending to the center of Ruesga, where you take the local road that leads to Cervera along the Rivera River plain.
