Stage 4

Galdakao – Galdakao

Boasting more than 3,200 metres of elevation gain, the stage requires riders to stay consistent and read the race well. The absence of a clear finish encourages attacks at intermediate elevations. Teams with multiple riders in good positions can make the most of their opportunities. Accumulated fatigue begins to show, and the peloton’s natural selection will start to take shape.

tourist INFORMATION

Departure

Nestled at the foot of Mount Ganguren, between Bilbao and Arratia, Galdakao has much to see, learn, and enjoy. As a gateway to the largest city in the Basque Country, it is one of the municipalities with the most remnants of the Iron Belt: it boasts an interesting route of almost seven kilometers, comprised of trenches and tunnels built during the 1936 war to protect the capital of Biscay.

In the Elexalde neighborhood stands the 13th-century Andra Mari Church, an architectural gem from the transition between Romanesque and Gothic styles. Along the Ibaizabal River, you can find the Puentelatorre and Torrezabal bridges, dating back to the Kingdom of Navarre, as well as the 18th-century Mercadillo Bridge, composed of four arches.
