Actually using proxy I was able to see them. Your stages are great too. Interesting to see a finish in Navia de Suarna after almost 40 kms of bumpy terrain, never considered it. Would be even better if Pelliceira gets paved and we have Pelliceira-Ancares combo with still 40 km of racing after the top of Ancares.
I want to see Pelliceira being asphalted.
And yes, using Ancares as a finish in Ponferrada would only be useful as the last mountain stage, because modern cycling is too passive.
On another note, coming from Ponferrada, I would also like climbing Ancares from Candin, which would be this:
Then descending from the Balouta side and using Pan do Zarco side, till Cruz de Cespedosa. ( the part between the 2 Balouta intersections )
It would be 5 km @%12 and 7 km @%9-10 or so, in quick succession and you can either finish at Cruz de Cespedosa, or go to Albergue de Ancares like Libertine proposes.
And with climbing Portillinos before ( and even Fonte da Cova ) it would be a tough mountain stage. Don't have great internet at the moment so can't design in Cronoescalada.
