Once we reach Alp, the route changes completely. The terrain becomes gentler and we cycle along rural paths and pastureland, crossing the Segre river to follow the Camí Ral de Sant Jaume, an ancient route connecting the villages of the Cerdanya valley. It is a gentle stretch, with the sound of the river as a common thread, passing through Bolvir before reaching Puigcerdà, the historic capital of Cerdanya, with its lake and bell tower welcoming us and marking the end of the stage.
