OHLA and its subsidiary EyM, which specializes in electrical installations, have been awarded the contract for the electrification and power supply systems for the entire route of the Alcalá de Guadaíra tramway (Seville). The work, which has been awarded by the Junta de Andalucía for a value of about 30 million euros, is part of the last contracts for the commissioning of the tramway.
The scope of the project includes the electrification of the 12.5 km route necessary to put into service the entire Alcalá de Guadaíra tramway line, from the Pablo de Olavide to Montecarmelo stations.
Specifically, the actions include the power supply of the tramway line by means of a 66 kV three-phase double-circuit subway power line, the installation of five traction substations along the route, as well as the construction of transformation centers for stations and stops.
A 20 kV power distribution network will also be deployed to connect the substations and transformer stations, as well as a power remote control to monitor and control the facilities and ensure traction to the trains and auxiliary services. The works also include the installation of the 750 V catenary distribution network and a low voltage network to supply the auxiliary equipment.
OHLA has more than seven decades of experience in the railway sector in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. At the national level, this year the company has added to its portfolio projects such as the extension of Line 3 of the Seville Metro and the southern extension of the Granada Metro.
His track record includes major projects such as the Ankara Istanbul high-speed train (Turkey), the Mecca-Medina AVE (Saudi Arabia), the Medellin Tramway (Colombia) and more than 200 high-speed projects in Spain.
Of this very young dancer, it can be said, as a preliminary matter, that she was born and lives in the depths of a natural setting where the cante por soleá reached a unique brilliance. Yaiza Wheat saw its first light and grew up in the very caves of Alcalá de Guadaíra, that is, at the foot of the mythical castle where the three Marías climbed, as the lyrics tell.

Most of the women that were trafficked to Spain to be forced to serve as prostitutes were from Colombia
The criminal network used flats out of Seville
and Alcalá de Guadaíra where they prostituted their victims to their clients
Authorities report that one of the arrested members is also accused of sexually assaulting one of the victims on no less than four occasions
investigators say that the criminals incurred on them a debt of €8,000 (US$9,068) to be paid back through prostitution
This is a common tactic used by human traffickers to coerce their victims into prostitution
Traffickers often impose a rigid system of fines
continuously increasing the debt owed to them by their victims
in order to trap them in a never-ending state of indentured servitude
Investigators originally learned of the crime ring in May when they became aware of an operation involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of women
who would then be kept in safe houses where they would be forced to serve the organization as prostitutes
The flats’ conditions in which the victims were kept were described by police as “subhuman”
with up to 12 women being forced to share the same room
In addition to being indebted to their captors
police say that the criminals also forced the women to pay for their own expenses
in order to trap them in a perpetual state of destitution
The flats reportedly also served as a base for the organization’s drug trafficking operation
Investigators say that the women were encouraged to take the drugs themselves before the criminals would hand them over to their clients
The alleged leader of the criminal organization
which include her ex-husband and other close relatives
A total of 23 victims were located and rescued by police in the dismantling of the organization
Earlier this month, Spanish authorities took down another transnational human trafficking and prostitution ring when they arrested “La Diabla”
one of Europe's most wanted fugitives who allegedly targeted women and transgender people from Venezuela to be taken to Spain to serve her organization as prostitutes
And just over a month ago, Spanish police dismantled yet another human trafficking and prostitution ring that kidnapped Nigerian women and used voodoo rituals to scare them into servitude under penalty of death

One of Emasa's arguments for raising the water bill by 44% in five years in Malaga is that it is facing funding a substantial investment plan
Of this total 43 million euros will be earmarked for work aimed at improving the city's situation in the event of a large influx from floodwaters
The first improvements are already underway
The most striking of these is a storm tank in the port area
this is a facility that consists of a large
filters and floodgates to respond to heavy rainfall events
Storm tanks are large underground reservoirs that store the first heavy rainwater
From there it is pumped to the water treatment plants
This syphoning off of floodwaters prevents the treatment plants from exceeding their capacity and being forced to release untreated waste waters
These reservoirs store the excess water until the torrential downpour is over
this eases things and avoids many problems
Prior to release the water will be filtered and stripped of large solids
Work on the Carretería and San Lorenzo rainwater collectors within the port to reduce and treat discharges in times of heavy rain and to reduce the risk of flooding in the historic part of Malaga city centre amounts to almost 9 million euros
There are four further things to do in the port area and on Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia
They involve replacing the collectors along the aforementioned avenue from the junction with Alameda de Colón to the Antonio Machado bridge
as well as the renovation of the route parallel to the river up to a storm relief installation equipped with roughing equipment (to grind up large debris) and sluice gates to function as an anti-pollution tank
a syphon will be built under the Guadalmedina to evacuate waste water to the pumping station on the right bank and the entire pumping system will be replaced to connect to the Peñón del Cuervo wastewater treatment plant
Emasa also plans to invest 7 million euros in rainwater collectors in the small river basin in Teatinos to reduce and treat discharges in times of heavy rain and to reduce the risk of flooding in the Carretera de Cádiz area west of the city centre
A further 4.5 million euros will be invested in improving the separation of sewerage networks and rainwater drainage in Malaga city
This mostly affects these streets: El Viso

The project for this public school is built around the idea of creating a humanized place by means of an artificial landscape facing inward, protected from the violent noise, pollution and neglected environment. Inside, life develops towards liveable courtyards and arcaded circulation galleries for students, isolating children from the aggressive environment.
© Jesús GranadaThe distribution of the main program has been key. The classrooms are oriented towards the quiet areas, the green areas bordering the site, and common areas, with less acoustic conditions and privacy, to the main facade (to the access).
© Jesús GranadaThe project is essentially three linear bodies, which are identified with each of the educational levels and the administration area. These volumes are designed in a U shape around a central courtyard that serves as a playground for younger students. The gym closes the U at the top serving as protection against noise and offering protection and privacy to the courtyard. This is where the project addresses the level differences of the site, via stairs and ramps.
After this filter we reach an atrium lit by a landscaped courtyard that groups around it the access circulation to classrooms, the administrative area and library.
© Jesús GranadaTeaching areas are focused on two parallel axes that meet at a transverse axis, the administrative area, that is, at the access to the center. The students are divided along these two axes, grouping the elementary school to the south-east and the primary school to the north-west area of the building, next to the multipurpose room. All classrooms overlook calm and green areas.

twenty years ago when she first landed in Seville as a university student
that her destiny would lead her to find work and love so far from her hometown
she has been the Senior Renewable Energy Program Manager at Amazon and is currently involved in the operation of Amazon's first off-site solar project to provide Amazon renewable energy
The project is already operating in Europe
Denise discovered Seville at the age of 20 during a university exchange in Political Science
she returned in 2003 looking for a professional future
She succeeded: "I started as an English teacher in a start-up dedicated to renewable energy
and I discovered a world that opened the doors to my future career."
I returned to my country to continue working first with solar technology companies and then with companies developing renewable energy." Looking back
Denise reflects on Amazon projects like the one in Alcalá de Guadaira: “This solar project exists thanks to corporate purchasing of the energy
as Senior Renewable Energy Program Manager for Amazon
the Alcalá de Guadaira solar park was under construction."
“Amazon is on a path to powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025,” says Denise
which was launched with the objective of achieving net-zero carbon within our operations before 2040
ten years before the agreement in the Paris Agreement
The Alcalá de Guadaira solar project is the first off-site operating project in Europe to supply Amazon with renewable energy
"This solar project provides 149 megawatts of renewable energy for the Amazon logistics network in Spain and also for Amazon Web Services data centers
This is equivalent to the energy needed to supply more than 30,000 Spanish homes,” explains Denise
"Amazon has already announced a second solar project to be located in Zaragoza." In addition
Amazon Web Services will open an AWS Europe Region in Aragon in Spain
that it will become the seventh AWS Region in Europe
"All of these projects represent a step forward for Amazon to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040
as part of The Climate Pledge," explains Denise

(ANS - Alcalá de Guadaíra) - At present
giving people the possibility of obtaining exceptional results in the fields of construction
as well as the use and management of technologies
is now considered a basic competence of the twenty-first century and betting on it is the thinking behind the pioneering and cutting-edge project of the Salesians of Alcalá de Guadaíra
The Salesian school of Alcalá has existed for over a century (104 years) and its presence in that locality has left its mark in many areas
is the sector of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
And if it is true that they have already been introduced in schools
it is equally true that the further transition to the Technologies of Learning and Knowledge (TAC) is still a pristine field
which can greatly facilitate the students of the Salesian institute
The "Mi Colegio 2020" project is based on the belief that today we need to focus on the best technological and human tools
which really prepare students for the world that awaits them
And all this means using the TACs as pedagogical tools
to encourage the acquisition of technological skills from an early age
which combines new technologies and robotics
and which improves the student's relationship with the environment that surrounds him or her and focuses on individualized attention
When Information and Communication Technologies and educational methodologies merge together, when technology is adapted to specific pedagogical goals and gives them new value, one can speak of Learning and Knowledge Technologies. And this is the new educational proposal of the Salesian School of Alcalá de Guadaíra, which is expressed in the "Mi Colegio 2020" project.

Minister Robles visited the weapons factory of the GDELS-Santa Bárbara Sistemas company in the Seville municipality of Alcalá de Guadaíra
where she verified the commissioning of six 'Leopard' 2A4 vehicles
which are expected to be sent to Ukraine at the end of next week after the last firing tests at the training range
Robles underlined the forthcoming arrival at this factory
which is a European benchmark in armoured vehicles and artillery systems
of another four Leopard' 2A4 battle tanks as part of the "commitment Spain has made
The Minister for Defence gave special thanks to the company GDELS-SBS
and also to "all the citizens of Alcalá de Guadaíra
who have taken on this process as their own
for the fine-tuning that has been done in record time"
recalling that the Spanish 'Leopard' 2Es used by the Spanish Army were manufactured in these facilities
Robles was able to talk to both workers and engineers and also to some of the local businessmen and suppliers who help to increase the company's efficiency when executing projects
and she thanked them all for their efforts
She also exchanged a few words with the military trainers of her Ukrainian counterparts
who are preparing to crew the 'Leopard' 2A4 and who explained to her the advantage of being able to fight "with the mentality of a tracker
given that the Soviet vehicles with which they were familiar are very different from those of the West
Robles also highlighted the high morale of the Ukrainians training in Spain
pointing to their courage as "an example to everyone"
The head of the department also visited the Zone A workshops dedicated to artillery systems
where the head of MALE and the director of operations at Santa Bárbara

Text description provided by the architects. Postindustrial Aesthetics: The building houses highly complex functional facilities for microbiological and chemical analysis laboratories. This requires great efficiency in its final use, compatible with a hyper-advanced image that, in parallel, aims to evoke emotion. The building presents a marked postindustrial aesthetic.

Beautiful, reflective, and mysterious spaces emerge, with optimal conditions for living and working.
© Imagen Subliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero)Superstructure: A highly sophisticated building
allowing for large spans and very open spaces
necessary for the functioning of the laboratory
It is exposed on the lower faces of the facade
so that it is configured as a grid-slab in which the external parameters of composite and double-sided aluminum and perforated materials merge
achieving a clean encounter and finish between materials
this play of materials enhances the expression of the building's concept
Spatial symbiosis: All of this reflects the idea of its conception as a spatial symbiosis that generates the sensation of an expectant and magical stillness in its inhabitants
A gang accused of committing more than 100 burglaries throughout the Andalucía region and stealing goods worth half a million euros has been busted
Guardia Civil and National Police officers arrested eight people who
operated in the Andalusian provinces of Cadiz
forgery of documents and illegal possession of weapons
Officers raided 15 homes in the Seville towns of Alcalá de Guadaira
Utrera and Seville city and seized telecommunications and computer equipment
goods stolen from various burglaries and two firearms
Police also found two marijuanaplantations with a total of 363 plants
The investigation started in June 2023 when agents became aware of a series of burglaries in two establishments in Palmones-Los Barrios (Cadiz)
the perpetrators of the thefts were identified
as well as the vehicles used to commit the burglaries
The suspects were then tracked over several months and led police to the wider group responsible for other robberies committed throughout the region
The criminal group had a "high level of professionalism and was one of the most active" and proved this in "the speed of execution
being able to carry out up to ten robberies in just six days"
The suspects concealed their identity with balaclavas
one of the gang members carried a fire extinguisher to use against security personnel in case they were caught
Businesses targeted ranged from tobacconists
especially in China and some other East Asian countries
bidding farewell to the Water Rabbit of 2023
Dragons are powerful and benevolent symbols in Chinese culture
good fortune and strengthen the pioneering spirit
located on the north coast of Africa and culturally connected to Andalucía
appears to be the most appropriate place to go in search of dragons
Ceuta projected its image as a benchmark tourist destination that combines history
The dragon is even depicted on Ceuta's tourist logo
Ceuta has many features that transport visitors to a magical time of myths and legends
when dragon giants became the main characters of the city's history
A dragon hunt in Ceuta might start at Plaza de África
two dragons stand on the façade of the Palacio Autonómico
holding in their hands a three-armed candelabrum with three lamps
with long tails and long tongues hold in their hands a lamp that lights up the pavement
Such unusual lampposts are on the Gran Vía (official name: Alcalde Antonio López Sánchez-Prado)
which connects Plaza de África with Plaza de la Constitución
the best known dragons are on the cornice of the 'Casa de los Dragones'
an iconic building located at the intersection of Paseo de Camoens with Calle Milan Astray and next to one of Ceuta's most important squares
twisted necks and open jaws dominate the roof
They are currently replicas created by Ceuta artist Antonio Romero Vallejo
fibre and marble and coated with blacksmith's paint to give them a bronze hue
The eclectic building was built by brothers Ricardo and Francisco Cerny González
who were members of the Masonic Lodge of Ceuta
This explains the connection between the building and the dragons
the dragon is a symbol of purification and self-improvement
as it represents the four elements of our inner lower nature that must be fought and mastered: 'earth' with its claws
'fire' with the flames that shoot out of its mouth
This is probably why the entrance to one of the most exotic Chinese-style buildings on the Costa del Sol
the Mariposario (butterfly house) of Benalmádena
The idea of installing dragons as guardians is very old
dragons are fierce by nature and one of their key traits is the desire to protect
but they have also been known to protect humans as well
The 123-metre-long dragon bridge in Alcalá de Guadaíra is considered the guardian of one of the largest Almohad fortresses in Europe
The small town near Seville's Puente del Dragón connects the two banks of the Guadaíra river
The bridge was the winner of a competition of ideas organised by the Junta de Andalucía and was chosen by popular vote organised by the Alcalá de Guadaíra town hall
The dragon is shaped like a giant head with an open mouth
beady eyes and the crest of a vigilant guardian
while at the opposite end of the structure is a pointed tail
a landmark designed to make the inhabitants of the fortress feel safe
The bridge is covered in multi-coloured 'trencadís' tiles
in the style of Gaudi's ornamentation of Barcelona's Park Güell
the idea was to bring this decorative art back to its place of origin
It is known that the Arab tradition of tile laying was very popular during the reign of the Almohads in the south of the peninsula
the ceramics of the bridge at Alcalá de Guadaíra are made in the ancient style
manganese and cobalt were used in the process to obtain colour
not only do not lose their colour but also improve their colour over time
This urban bridge has two central arches with a span of 43 metres and two half arches at the ends with 18-metre spans
Its width of 22.6 metres is sufficient for four lanes of traffic and two wide pavements
two colourful flights of steps with a half-height observation platform allow pedestrians to walk down to the riverbed and admire the well-maintained landscape of the bridge's shallow waters

(ANS - Madrid) - After the success of the "Salesianos.info/podcast" initiative - https://salesianos.info/podcast/ - many Salesian realities are working to start their own Salesian radio stations
of Alcalá de Guadaíra and Morón de la Frontera
the last houses to join the Salesian radio family
and with a significant increase since the outbreak of the pandemic
increasingly more Salesian presences have opted for this medium to share their activities and give prominence to young people
An example of this can be seen in the first season of "El Pódcast de Don Bosco"
A format conceived by former students of the Salesian work of Alcalá de Guadaíra who have opted for the educational-pastoral dissemination of Don Bosco's work through digital media and in audio format
This podcast has already presented special editions dedicated to St
John Bosco and Mary Help of Christians in their respective festive celebrations
broadcasting episodes that sought to spread their devotion to all listeners
and messages arrived from many corners of Spain
and the Salesian youth center of Aleppo in Syria
and groups of the Congregation to an ever-greater audience
through the subject "Oratory and Debate," that aims to make students aware of the importance and scope of all media
as well as to develop among the students their mastery of language and verbal transmission
the students of the Salesian secondary school of Morón de la Frontera
began to make the first broadcasts and recordings
accessible from the school's social pages and website
This initiative was received with great interest and enthusiasm by the students who adopted it
since its intention is clear: to continue learning in a meaningful way
telling through podcasts everything that happens in the Salesian school
the "Papeleta de Sitio" podcast from the Salesians of Triana recently and successfully completed its fourth season
which can be listened to on the Spotify platform
analyzes the current reality of Salesian fraternities in Seville and is produced by students and alumni of the Triana Vocational Training Center
This year the team is composed of a group of 15 students
who have produced a total of 6 programs through which they have made people reflect on the different figures of the Passion
Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and initiated debates on the post-pandemic context
a multitude of initiatives have been emerging in Spain to "give voice" to the educational community
The doyen of the current Salesian radios in the country is "Don Bosco Radio"
near Alicante: for about 15 years in the region of Alcoià
it has been possible to tune into it at 88.4 FM
One of the potentialities of the radio is its educational function
This is how they understand it at the "San Juan Bosco" school in Valencia
where "Radio Bosco" was established over three years ago
And with the same idea of educational radio
in the academic year 2017/2018 emerged "Salesianos LAM"
digital space of the school "Salesianos La Almunia"
other centers have been encouraged to launch their own school radio
such as centers "Salesianos Padre Aramburu" in Burgos
"Salesianos Lugo" and "Salesianos La Orotava"
such as the radio workshops organized by some centers like "Salesianos Los Boscos" in Logroño
"Salesianos Cruces" in Barakaldo (Vizcaya)
"Salesianos Monzón" (Huesca) and "Salesianos Santander"
And other projects have already been completed
such as Radio Familia of the "Salesianos Antequera"
and Radio Bosco of the "Jesús Obrero" parish in Seville
radio is making its way into Salesian homes as a medium with enormous educational potential and for transmitting values
and which gives a voice to children and young people from other realities as well
the podcast channel with which the Salesian publisher "Edebé" wants to approach teachers
to consolidate a community that promotes literature for children and young people
students from centers such as Rota or Córdoba were able to share their advice in an episode dedicated to Book Day
recently joined the radio initiative with the project "Déjameque te cuente" (Let me tell you about it) to recover the concept of fraternal love and use it to generate communication that breaks down barriers and walls
values diversity and encounters with other cultures

The Junta de Andalucía's Ministry of Health confirmed on Thursday the death in Navarre of a woman infected with the West Nile virus (WNV)
She had visited Utrera (Seville province) and
This brings the death toll from this virus to six just this summer
all of them in the one Andalusian province or related to it in some way
Ministry sources confirmed that the woman had visited Utrera in Seville province on 12 August and had then travelled back home where she eventually died due to this virus that can only be transmitted to people via mosquito bites
To the death of the woman infected in Utrera are added the deaths of three people from Coria del Río
one of them an elderly woman over 87 years of age (also with pre-existing medical issues) and another elderly person aged 71
The other two were another 71-year-old woman from Dos Hermanas (with pre-existing conditions) and a woman aged 86 who was infected in La Puebla del Río
There are also dozens of cases of infection via mosquito bites
the only way of transmitting the virus to humans
with the regional health ministry reporting a total of 60 cases this summer in Coria del Río
Specifically in relation to the Carmona resident infected with the virus
it has emerged this Thursday that he had died after having his case of infection confirmed
The councillor in charge of health matters at Carmona town hall
said in statements to Canal Sur Radio that this resident of El Corzo housing estate was already suffering from other ailments and died "from other medical complications" unrelated to WNV itself
Currently the Junta's PEVA plan (Andalucía's strategic plan to monitor and control all bugs and insects that could impact health) obliges all municipalities affected by the problem of mosquitoes transmitting WNV to deploy their municipal plans for preventive fumigation of these insects
the affected municipalities are demanding greater "involvement" from the Junta in this problem
especially that the costs of fumigation and disinfection should not be borne exclusively by the individual town halls
Seville's provincial authority (Diputación) has contracted two specialist pest-controlling companies
to strengthen the efforts required of the municipalities
The towns listed by the Junta as needing this additional

Spain has approved the supply of a new batch of tanks to Ukraine
will be prepared for shipment at the Santa Bárbara Sistemas factory in Alcalá de Guadaíra
"This new batch of materials may be directly related to the visit of a delegation from the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to Spain last week for negotiations with representatives of the industry and the Ministry of Defense," the material writes
stated that the materials being transferred to Ukraine are necessary
"There is no doubt that Ukraine will make the best use of them to protect its national security," Mendez explained
Spain already sent a batch of Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine
Additionally, the German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall promised to supply Ukraine with ammunition for Leopard tanks in the near future.

The fact that the man in charge of this art in the Andalusian Government is someone who has said that only Gypsies can sing flamenco is, in my opinion, very bad news. It’s actually dangerous.
Pachón has lived his whole life immersed in flamenco and has experienced it up close
even as he once said that he met Joaquín el de la Paula in Alcalá de Guadaíra
which cannot be true since Pachón was born four years after that king of the soleares alcalareñas died
I have a high regard for many of the things done by Ricardo Pachón
I don’t need to wait and see what he will do at the IAF
and I sincerely believe this is the worst news we could have heard in these early days of fall
there were specific requirements for this position and apparently Pachón achieved the highest score in the selection process
In previous occasions we’ve complained that the directors have been hand-picked
«Pachón is a die-hard ‘gitanista’ who usually disregards anything that’s not made by Gypsy artists»
The problem with this man being the boss in flamenco
having public money and the power to decide many things regarding our art
Pachón is a die-hard gitanista who usually disregards anything that’s not made by Gypsy artists
He belongs to that group of people linked to this art who
did a lot of harm with the matter of whether non-Gypsies were capable of being flamenco artists or not
the fact that the man in charge of this art in the Junta the Andalucía is someone who has said that only Gypsies can sing flamenco is
Let me tell you a true story. In 1991, the record label Ediciones Senador asked me to put together an album with never-released cantes by Juan Talega
to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birthday
I accepted the challenge and I started looking for private recordings with good sound quality to do a worthy job and pay tribute to that famous Gypsy cantaor from Dos Hermanas
The record label wasn’t aiming to make a profit with this project
They rather wanted to add an album featuring such vintage flamenco to their already rich catalog
I went to the house of Ricardo Pachón to ask for one cante and complete the repertoire
For one single cante that he had recorded of that master of soleá in some party
certainly without giving Talega any money for it
He had all the right to demand money for that recording

26 August 2015 70th Vuelta a Espana Stage 05 : Rota - Alcala de Guadaira 1st : EWAN Caleb (AUS) Orica - GreenEDGE 2nd : DEGENKOLB John (GER) Giant - Alpecin Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA
Young Australian beat John Degenkolb and Peter Sagan in a sprint finish to the line in Alcala de Guadaira
who took victory on stage two and held the red leader's jersey
but it was their home rider Ewan who enjoyed success on the uphill drag to the finish on the Vuelta's fifth day
Ewan was then able to move round the German Degenkolb
and seemed to comfortably roll across the line with space to spare as he celebrated victory in the first Grand Tour of his young career
The main action of the 167.3km day starting from Rota was dominated by the three man break
containing Iljo Keisse (Etixx - Quick Step)
Antoine Duchesne (Europcar) and Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre - Merida)
Ethiopian Grmay was the first to stretch out a gap
before the three came together to instill a seven minute maximum gap until things tumbled quickly as the race hit the final 30km
but was eventually brought back to the peloton like his two companions with 9km remaining
Things then accelerated on the flat run into the final uphill drag
with the GC teams controlling things before the sprinters teams came to the fore in the hope of placing their men in the right position for the win
with their up-and-coming sprinter Ewan taking the biggest win of his career at this year's Vuelta
There was some diappointment for Orica though
as Chaves lost his overall lead to Giant-Alpecin's Tom Dumoulin
who finished six seconds ahead of the Colombian to take control of the red jersey
Things are likely to shake-up in the overall standings on Thursday's 200.3km stage six to Sierra de Cazorla though
with two categorised climbs en route including a third category summit finish which will see the climbers come to the fore again in this Vuelta
