Por sus hojas navego
Ahora sopla el viento
Cuando el mar quedó lejos, hace tiempo"

The swim starts in the Mediterranean Coast coming out of the water by an old fisherman neighbourhood that transport us to another time. This place is known as la Caleta in Salobreña. From its narrow and quiet streets whitewashed in white we start a bike trip of 200 km, going into the Alpujarras, reaching in the Port of Ragua, (2041m.) the highest point of the route. This is the mountain pass that takes us from the South to the North face of Sierra Nevada mountains.
A fast descend takes us to la Calahorra to go West and passing later Jeréz del Marquesado with the imposing and beautiful views of the North faces of the highest peaks of the peninsula. The Mulhacen, Alcazaba and Pico Jeréz watch us on our odyssey on the way to the Quéntar dam where the run leg starts, with a 44km race on foot towards the ski resort of Sierra Nevada.
