We cross Mataró and continue towards Argentona, where we leave the coast behind to climb the Serra Litoral again. We climb part of the Coll de Parpers by road and then take a forest track that crosses the massif towards Vallès. The terrain alternates between stretches of scrubland and wooded and open areas, until we begin the descent towards Cardedeu, a town with a rich agricultural and modernist past, where farmhouses and noucentista-style buildings surrounded by fields and banana trees are still preserved. Once on the plain, the landscape becomes rural and agricultural: tracks between cereal fields, streams and farmhouses, with the Riera de Cànoves and Torrent del Pla streams as companions along the way. The last few kilometres are a gradual and gentle climb to L’Ametlla del Vallès, the end of the stage, set among fields and woods, with views of the Vallès plain.
