The whole route has been divided into
17 cycling stages and 2 rest days in
Segovia and Mérida.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The stages have an average length of
111 kilometres, depending on the
profile and the location of the paradors.
The course varies from rolling straight country roads to
scenic winding roads in the sierras. The
average elevation gain is roughly 1.650 meters
per day, so don't forget your mountain gears.
Participants who want to challenge themselves a bit
more, can make extra loops or can climb some
puertos or altos of the Vuelta d'España.
On the other hand - for the riders which want to do it a
bit more relaxed - it is also possible to shorten a few
stages.
At the start in San Sebastián you get an extensive tour
guide with background information about the route.
We advise you to bring a GPS which has the option to
upload files. It is a very helpful device to find the
correct way without looking at detailed maps or an
overload of instructions.
