Arrival line of the next to the last day of Spain’s 2008 Vuelta is located in the first category ALTO DE NAVACERRADA summit where the general classification may be finally decided, if a clear leader has not come to the fore so far. If during the previous stage, the Navacerrada climb was through the Madrid slope, at this time, it runs up the Segovia Province side.

The first time ever departure is set at La Granja de San Ildefonso town, where every year the Royal Glass Factory processes the Vuelta’s trophy.  The stage is planned as a rather straining timed climbing trial that only those riders that reach the Vuelta’s end in good condition can take advantage of.
