It is the first indoor beach with blue flag of the Community of Madrid.

The cycling segment of 180 Km will be developed through the Sierra Oeste de Madrid where the mountainous relief predominates which gives way to other lower areas through which the Alberche and Perales rivers flow. The variety of landscapes, as well as the relief and the vegetal species that can be observed, are very valuable since this region runs between the 500 and 1500 meters of altitude.

The running route in the center will be 4 laps that runs mainly through the Calle Mayor, the Almudena Cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Plaza de España, Paseo de Camoens and the Temple of Debod.
