Itinerary Detail

Day 1


Bienvenidos a Barcelona

Your guide Jacinta will meet you at Barcelona El Prat airport and we’ll head to our Hotel on the outskirts of this beautiful city, by private transfer. A welcome lunch will give you the chance to meet your fellow cycling fans and we’ll run through the plans for the next exciting days. In the afternoon we will head into Barcelona and take the cable car. The Montjuïc cable car has been the most special way to discover the charm of Barcelona for many years and it’s base will be where the Stage 1 Time Trial finishes in two days time. Its 750 meters of route allow you to gaze at unparalleled views, culminating your journey in the Montjüic Castle, on the top of a mountain that represents the living history of the city. Enjoy the most emblematic symbols of Barcelona as never before, as well as visiting the Castle.

Day 2


Discover Barcelona & the Team Presentation

Beautiful Barcelona! This city has so much to offer and so many sights to behold! We will travel to the city in the morning and visit a few of the most loved sights. We’ll stop at Sagrada Familia, Plaça D’Espanya , Plaça de les Cascades and then head to the Port. You can walk up the famous La Rambla, home to many street entertainers and stalls, or meander through typical Spanish Squares, abuzz with excited chatter and food lovers. You can visit the Gothic Quarter and the Cathedral. Your choice for late lunch spots is endless! Our day will finish off with us going to the Team Presentation. A local event, we will mix and mingle as each team proudly show their cyclists ahead of the gruelling tour.

Day 3


LIVE VIP Viewing Finish Line Time Trial

The Vuelta a España opens with a team time trial of 14.6 kilometres in Barcelona. The teams start near Barcelona’s Olympic Port and traverse a quick, technical circuit before finishing at the base of Montjuïc, the iconic mountain overlooking the city, which we visit 2 days prior. We will have access to the exclusive VIP Arrival area, where you can watch the live coverage on the screens, as you enjoy the free bar and complimentary snacks, before the teams cross the finish line! We’ll be able to watch time and time again as each team passes! Who will be the first team in red?!
