It then heads towards Tuca Dalliu, passing by the Cabaña de Literola, and continues in search of the Benasque Valley. From there, it continues south along the old road until reaching the junction with the Vallibierna Valley track, which it then ascends to reach the Refugio de Coronas (1,950 m). We continue up the Estiba Freda stream path to reach the peak of the same name, the summit of the race. From here, we travel through one of the lesser-known areas: the Ardonés Valley. The descent, reaching the town of Cerler (1,500 m), passes through forests until reaching the finish line in the village of Benasque (1,140 m). We stayed at the Avenida Hotel, on the same street as the race, and it was fantastic. @gmmbenasque2689 #gmmb #benasque #goprohero11black
