Stage 1 (TTT): Torrevieja - Torrevieja, 14.6 kilometers
Stage 2: Orihuela - Pila de la Horadada, 105.8 kilometers
Stage 3: Elche de la Sierra - La Rosa, 158 kilometers
Stage 4 has a third category ascent of the Atlto de Hurche close to the finale with the summit 12 km from the finish that could spice things up towards Guadalajara. Stage 5 of the Vuelta Femenina is where the general classification will be played more seriously. The Puerto de Navafría, first category, is located 70 km from the finish and can completely break the race. From there to the finish all flat until the final climb to the Mirador de Peñas Llanas, a second category summit finish where differences will be created.
Stage 6 of the race is a hilly day in which a lot can happen. Possible sprint, late attack and all-out GC battle are all possible in this explosive day from Castro-Urdiales to Laredo, which features two second category ascents within just 106 kilometers. The final day of racing will be the queen stage of the ninth edition of the Vuelta Femenina with a second category pass in the middle of the route but most importantly the climb to the special category pass of the Lagos de Covadonga that will decide the overall classification.
