Ruta del Sol 2018 Route stage 4: Sevilla - Alcalá de los Gazules

Ruta del Sol 2018 stage 4Saturday, 17 February 2018 - The route of the Ruta del Sol's 4th stage runs from Sevilla to Alcalá de los Gazules. Amounting to 194.7 kilometres, the race ends at a summit finish after a punchy ascent with steepest ramps of up to 18%.

Following the start in Sevilla the riders head south on flat to gently rolling roads. In the second half of the stage the roads take a different shape. When the course enters the province of Cádiz the route gets more hilly to reach its zenith in the Sierra de Grazalema with the climb up the Puerto de las Palomas. The ascent of 15.7 kilometres at 5.4% was included in the Vuelta a España in 1986, 1990 and 2002.

Following a short drop and an 1 kilometre climb the route descends further to the valley. The last 60 kilometres are played out on rolling terrain.

Some 18 kilometres before the line the road goes up at 3% for approximately 4 kilometres before a rolling descent runs to the foot of the climb to Alcalá de los Gazules, a town that’s located some 50 kilometres north of Gibraltar. The final haul amounts to less then 2 kilometres but is spiced by stretches of pavé and ramps of up to 18%.
