В цьому році 6й етап La Vuelta буде проходити через ці місця. Гравійна частина маршрута, що веде до вершини легендарного Bartolo, зовсім не пригодна для шосейних велосипедів. Сподіваюсь, організатори гонки та місцева влада спробують поліпшити цю ділянку, інакше це буде жорстоке це буде знущання над гонщиками.
