Route
Etapa 4 - El toyo
A loop route that begins on flat terrain and heads toward the town of Turre. There, we begin to climb through the foothills of the Sierra de Cabrera, tackling two major ascents before heading back toward the sea down a technical trail that leads us right to the Mediterranean shore. From here, the route begins on a track and then follows a trail clinging to a cliff—a spectacular stretch with the sea always to our right.
This stage begins with a fast stretch leading up to the climb toward Bedar, where, before reaching the town, we take a section of the greenway, passing through a tunnel from Los 3 Amigos Station and beginning a long climb that passes by a Buddhist temple, all within the Sierra de Cabrera.
After reaching the summit, the route follows a ridge offering spectacular views of the sea. A long, technical descent then leads down to the town of El Chive. From there, a section takes us toward the Tabernas area along well-maintained trails winding through olive groves, eventually reaching the Almería Circuit. We enter the circuit and cover the final few kilometers uphill before arriving at its paddock.
A loop stage around Almería Circuit. After setting off from the circuit itself along fast trails and riverbeds, we tackle the steep climb up to Alto de Velefique, where the Škoda Challenge will take place—a long climb with an elevation gain of nearly 1,000 meters.
From the summit, there’s still a short uphill stretch before tackling a long, rocky, and somewhat technical descent. From the valley, we take the trails that will lead us back to the starting point of the loop.
On the way back to Mojácar, we start by leaving the circuit and riding through fields of solar panels along fast trails that gradually gain elevation as we approach the town of Sorbas. After a few kilometers on paved roads, we return to the trails with a descent through a quarry that takes us to the banks of the Aguas River. From there, either along very wide trails, a short stretch of trail, or through the Rambla del Rio Aguas, we reach the seashore where the stage ends.
