🗺️ Stage Map

📖 Stage Description

A short but beautiful stage that crosses the border between Andalusia and Extremadura. The landscape shifts subtly — the Andalusian olive groves give way to vast dehesas roamed by free-ranging Iberian pigs.

El Real de la Jara, a village perched on a rocky promontory, is dominated by the ruins of a 14th-century medieval castle. Panoramic views over the Sierra Morena.
