You leave Güeñes behind while the day is still gently warming up. The houses thin out, the road narrows and before you know it you’ve settled into your rhythm.
After that, it’s a day of short climbs and descents. The highest point is nothing special, but you climb quite a bit more than you descend. You’ll feel that in your legs, especially in the second half. You climb a good 400 metres in total, in small bites. It’s not a monster stage, but it’s one that keeps pulling at you.
That way you arrive at a relaxed pace in Nava de Ordunte, a small village. You’re on the move for a good 6 hours, so take food and drink for the whole day and plan your breaks in advance.
