Spectacular cycling tour in the rugged Galician region of northern Spain.
Overview:
Experience the passion, excitement and emotion of "La Vuelta" during the first week of the
race in the spectacularly rugged region of Galicia in the northwest of Spain. Bike the same
roads as the pros just hours before they arrive and enjoy VIP access to stage finishes and
viewing areas.
Starting in Ourense, the third largest town in Galicia, the race will make its way north west
towards the coast to the picturesque fishing port of Finisterre, or "Land's End", as the Romans
baptised it. Literally translated as the "end of the earth" this magical area of Galicia offers
some of Spain's most isolated and breathtaking beaches. After a couple of nights saoking up
this rugged, coastal scenery we make our way to the spectacular northern coast of Galicia
before returning south to Monforte de Lemos and finishing the tour with a night in the sacred
city of Santiago de Compostela.
La Vuelta is the most intimate of the 3 professional grand cycling tours, the relaxed
atmosphere and accessibility to the pro cyclists and their teams make it a very special
experience. Staying in deluxe 4 and 5-star hotels with VIP access to the race areas and
spectacular supported bike rides with our experienced Bike Spain guides, we can
guarantee this will be unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
