The Vuelta de España is a traditional cycling race in Spain. The Vuelta de España, the Tour the France and the Giro d’Italia together are called “the three big rounds”. The race is being held almost every year since 1935.
The team time trial started last Saturday, and started from Puerto Banús to Marbella. The official cycle race started last Sunday from Alhaurín de la Torre and finished at Caminito del Rey, a 158,7 kilometre hilly parcour. Each day there is another parcour.
The entire race takes place from last Saturday and ends at the 13th of September. The finish will be in Madrid, but there are many beautiful places during the race which you absolutely should see!
The atmosphere during the race is phenomenal, there are many supporters on the side line. But of course, when you visit those places, don’t forget to enjoy the environment!
So if you are in Andalucía, go visit the Vuelta de España!
