ALCOSSEBRE > CASTELLÓN
A fun stage featuring a dirt road during the final climb. The first part of the stage is very winding and will determine the day’s escape. Following an initial climb to Las Palmas Desert (2nd category), the riders will again begin the same ascent before taking the detour towards Bartolo (1st category) where they will have to ride on a dirt road for three kilometres before reaching the top and then facing the rapid descent towards Castellón.
We’ll not only plan daily rides to include parts of the famous Vuelta a España course, but also take you to two stages of the race itself, both riding and spectating on routes close to the hotel.
Thanks to our local guide knowledge, we’ll hand pick the very best viewing spots each day, getting you right up close to the action on some of the most iconic passes of the race.
VALL D'ALBA > ARAMÓN VALDELINARES
The second high-altitude finale in La Vuelta 26. The stage will enter Aragón through the Province of Teruel, with a 2nd category mountain pass (San Rafael) before the final climb that could well mark some differences among the favourites.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE
Arrival day is all about settling in and getting ready for the week ahead.
Check into the hotel, build your bike, and have the option to head out for a short test ride before dinner.
The day usually wraps up over dinner, giving everyone a chance to relax, meet the group, and prepare for the rides to come.
Our first day in the saddle sets the tone for an unforgettable week of riding in the Spanish mountains. This 77km route combines flowing roads, steady climbs, and spectacular scenery as we tackle 873m of elevation through the Castellón countryside.
One of the highlights of the day is riding a section of Stage 6 of the 2026 La Vuelta — the very same roads the pros will race later in the week, when we’ll be there to watch the action unfold live. Expect a rewarding day of riding with iconic climbs, smooth descents, and the excitement of tracing the route of one of cycling’s biggest races.
Day 2 brings a bigger challenge as we head deeper into the mountains on a spectacular day of climbing and fast descents. Riders can choose between two route options depending on how hard they want to push. A shorter 87km route with 1,091m of elevation, or the full 110km route featuring 1,584m of climbing.
Whichever option you choose, the day includes either one or two unforgettable mountain passes with incredible views across the region. Along the way, we’ll also fly through the roads where Stage 7 of the 2026 La Vuelta will begin, giving you the chance to experience another part of the race route before watching the professionals take it on later in the week.
After two big days in the mountains, Day 3 is a shorter recovery ride designed to soak up the atmosphere of La Vuelta. This relaxed 42km route rolls down towards the coast with 642m of elevation, giving the legs a chance to recover while still enjoying some beautiful riding.
Today’s highlight is arriving in town to watch the finish of Stage 6 of the 2026 La Vuelta live. We’ll experience the buzz of race day, catch the riders sprint for the line, and enjoy time at some of the local cafés and restaurants for a well-earned lunch by the coast.
After the stage, you can choose to return comfortably by shuttle or ride back to the hotel if you’re keen for a few extra kilometres.
Day 4 is the queen stage of the tour and one of the biggest rides of the week. Covering 91km with a huge 2,543m of climbing, this is a true mountain day that follows the exact route of Stage 7 of the 2026 La Vuelta.
The challenge builds all day as we ride deeper into the mountains before taking on the legendary climb to the summit of Valdelinares. A massive ascent that will test the legs and reward riders with incredible scenery and an unforgettable sense of achievement.
At the top, we’ll settle in to watch the professionals battle up the same climb during Stage 7 of La Vuelta, experiencing the atmosphere from one of the race’s key mountain finishes. After the stage, we’ll shuttle back to the hotel for a well-earned recovery.
The final day of riding gives you one last chance to experience the incredible roads and scenery of the region before the week comes to an end. Depending on how the legs are feeling after an unforgettable few days in the mountains, riders can choose between two route options — an 80km ride with 1,308m of climbing, or the full 114km route featuring 1,876m of elevation.
Along the way, we’ll pass through the famous medieval village of Culla, one of the most beautiful and historic hilltop towns in the region, offering incredible views and a true taste of rural Spain. Both routes deliver a perfect mix of flowing mountain roads, challenging climbs, and rewarding descents, making for a memorable final day on the bike.
Whether you choose the shorter spin or take on the full adventure, it’s the ideal way to finish an epic week of riding and La Vuelta action in the mountains of Castellón.
Departure day is a relaxed wrap-up to the week, with no riding scheduled.
Guests enjoy breakfast, pack down their bikes, and check out of the hotel at their own pace.
It’s a chance to unwind, reflect on the week, and head home feeling accomplished after an EPIC 350km+ week in the Spanish mountains.
