La Vuelta will start Sunday the 25th in Malaga.
Malaga capital, centre. More centre impossible.
An 8 km. time trial which will háve to be an exhibition of prudence by the favorites.
Looked at the details of the route and it is all very, véry tricky surface with very little grip.
The finish is at the end of Calle Larios; pedestrian area.

The second stage however is beautiful. Not the most challenging of clibs but plenty of opportunities for escapes and the loop at the end which they will do twice is só scenic. Obviously also a totally commercial thing to pass the Caminito del Rey twice. I bet it will be frequent helicopter shots of this tourist attraction.

Next day is still in Malaga as is the start of stage four. That stage four has some really serious climbing and a WOW! finish that could shake up things from very early on.

Again the Vuelta is characterised by relatively short stages with some very, véry demanding climbs.
