Vuelta 2011, Stage 04 Baza to Sierra Nevada, 170km (4150m)

La Vuelta leaves the coast and heads to the mountains of Granada. First mountain stage with a mountain top finish in this edition. Sierra Nevada will once again greet the cyclists as they complete in the dozen stages contested on its slopes. Its more than 2,100 metres in altitude once again makes this the Cima Alberto Fernández. Before facing the well-known and demanding Sierra Nevada finish, the cyclists will have to climb Sierra de Filabres, an unprecedented category 1 mountain pass for La Vuelta, and Puerto de Blancares, a category 3. by thunderthighs
