Episode 4

A beautiful and colourful 163.5km stage with a departure in Betanzos and a new high-altitude arrival, this time in the impressive and unprecedented Mirador Vixia de Herbeira, in San Andres de Teixido. The cliffs are the highest in in Europe. This 11.2km mountain pass, with an average inclination of 4.8 per cent, is not excessively tough, but it could potentially be dangerous to those who get distracted. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
