The ride
This ride rolls out of Higuera de Vargas and back again, covering 69.7 km with 651 m of climbing along the way. The surface stays paved the whole time, so you can settle into a rhythm. Early on you pass Castillo de Higuera de Vargas, the village castle, before the route carries you onward. Later comes the río Alcarrache, a river crossing that marks the turn for home.
