Britain's Chris Froome won the Ruta del Sol on Sunday (Monday AEDT) as Spaniard Juan Jose Lobato claimed his second stage victory of the week.
Froome held a two-second advantage over major rival Alberto Contador and ensured he was in no danger by edging towards the front of the peloton on the sprint finish to end the 169.8km ride from Montilla to Alhaurin de la Torre.
The 2013 Tour de France winner finished sixth on the day with Contador just behind in ninth.
Lobato was again the quickest man to the line in his home region of Andalusia after also winning the second stage on Thursday and with a stage victory at the Tour Down Under already under his belt this season.
The Movistar rider won ahead of German John Degenkolb and France's Sylvain Chavanel.
Lobato's teammate Benat Intxausti took third in the general classification.
