La Vuelta is the most epic and open cycling competition in Spain, and one of the most prestigious in the world. Along with the Tour de France, it is one of the three Grand Tours of professional road cycling. First held in 1935, La Vuelta consists of 21 grueling stages spread across the country's unpredictable terrain. Held in August, it represents the grand finale of European cycling, the last chance for the best cyclists to give their all. Such a demanding competition only reveals its winner at the very end.
La Vuelta has evolved over 90 years to become a truly international event, reaching millions of fans around the world thanks to extensive media coverage in 190 countries and welcoming millions of spectators on-site along the route, in our agile arena, where the event becomes a true celebration for the public.
La Vuelta is also committed to progress and inclusion, with its women's race, La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, which continues to grow in impact and visibility.
La Vuelta has gone beyond sport. Through its new program, La Vuelta es Más, the race reinforces its commitment to a more environmentally responsible way of organizing sporting events, promotes cycling as a lifestyle, supports social causes, and raises the profile of Spain's regions as cycling-friendly destinations.
For all these reasons, La Vuelta is committed to a more connected and vibrant country.
