Route

The route is an anticlockwise loop, heading southwest from San Sebastián, reaching its highest point, and its farthest from the city at the Alto de Udana (574 m). It then heads back towards the southern suburbs of the start town, before heading east through the Jaizkibel mountains to Hondarribia on the French border, and then back to San Sebastián.{{Cite web |url=http://www.uciprotour.com/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU4NDY&ObjTypeCode=IMG&type=IMG&id=NTc1OTI&LangId=1 |title=UCI map of the course |access-date=2010-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807164941/http://www.uciprotour.com/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU4NDY&ObjTypeCode=IMG&type=IMG&id=NTc1OTI&LangId=1 |archive-date=2011-08-07 |url-status=dead }}
