Once you have passed the highest point, a long and spectacular descent begins. The first few kilometres run through the Santa Fe del Montseny area, between natural tunnels of tall, shady trees. Further down, the road opens up and the bends multiply; it is a fast, fun descent with the asphalt in excellent condition. From several viewpoints you can see the Vallès plain and the coastal mountains in the background. As we lose altitude, the temperature rises and the vegetation changes, giving way to Mediterranean pine and oak forests. A final stretch along a gently sloping track takes us to Sant Celoni, a village with streets steeped in history, Baroque churches and medieval charm, where the stage ends.
