In total 193 kilometers on winding terrain, with two ports of 2nd category and one of 3rd.

The mayor, Toni Pérez, pointed out that "for the city it is a pleasure to repeat the experience we already had in 2016 when we welcomed the start of the penultimate stage of the race, which was decisive for the final classification of La Vuelta". Perez has stressed that "without a doubt, being a city of departure gives us the opportunity to project the image of Benidorm to hundreds of countries through the international teledeporte broadcast, which will broadcast live the whole stage."

The mayor has been convinced that "next August 25, once again, neighbors and visitors will be enthusiastically launched to the street to accompany and encourage the runners, thus demonstrating the strong link between Benidorm and La Vuelta "

In the coming months, responsible and technicians of Benidorm City Council and the organization of La Vuelta Ciclista will design the route that the test will follow throughout the city.
