As the Vuelta heads toward the mountains, stage 4 brings the field a 115km race that begins in Monforte de Lemos. There are two category 3 ascents during this stage, starting with the Alto de Oural at 19.5km and then the Alto de A Vacariza at 83.6km. It won't be a flat finish as the parcours looks to take a turn upward in the final kilometres to the finish line in Antas de Ulla.
