The ride

Roll out of Zahara de la Sierra and the route soon runs beside the Embalse de Zahara, a lake at the foot of the hills. From there it heads into the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Grazalema, a nature reserve, before following the Río Guadalete. Later come the Castillo de Olvera, a castle, and the Río Guadalporcún, and then the road brings you back to the village where you started. Along the way you climb 1663 m over 74.9 km.
