Start Experience all stages - £70 per person

Every day, in the start town, tickets are available to access the reserved area at the start. Guests of the official Vuelta Start Village watch the riders get ready and witness the sign-on ceremony whilst enjoying drinks and snacks. This is an excellent way to see more of the riders and to have a look at the team buses, the amazing bikes and to see the team’s support workers like mechanics do their job. The Vuelta as a race is far more relaxed than the Tour de France or even the Giro d’Italia so you can get closer to the riders for photos and autographs.

Day in an official Vuelta Race Car - £1159 per person

On most stages, places are available in an official VIP Car that follows the race. This is a full day that starts with enjoying start village followed by driving on the course and enjoying food and drinks along the way. Your driver and guide for the day is a former Pro rider who shares insights along the way. The day finishes in style with hospitality at the finish line.

Location

Barcelona Airport

Barcelona airport, with several terminals, is located 16 kilometres south of the city and is also known as Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat. Barcelona can also be reached by transport links from other regional airports, including Girona, Reus and Lleida-Alguaire.

From the airport there are good connections by Bus, Train or Metro and it takes between 30 – 50 minutes to get into the city centre depending on what mode of transport you choose.

Barcelona and the Vuelta a Espana

Barcelona will host the official departure of La Vuelta 23. The 78th edition of the Spanish Grand Tour will take off with a T.T.T. that will take place entirely within the city. Barcelona will also host the second stage finish-line and will play a prominent role in such key, emblematic La Vuelta events as the team presentation gala and the filming of the race’s official videoclip, providing its natural settings as a backdrop.

Barcelona is a city with a long-standing sporting tradition with close ties to cycling. This fact is evident through the numerous sporting events that take place there throughout the year – the Volta a Catalunya and the City of Barcelona International Track Cycling or Mountain Bike Trophy, in particular.

The last time La Vuelta stopped in Barcelona was in the race’s 2012 edition. The 9th stage left from Andorra and ended at Montjuïc, with Belgian rider Philippe Gilbert crossing the finish-line in first place.

Barcelona already hosted La Vuelta’s official departure in 1962, with a first linear stage spanning over 90 km that both started and ended within the city itself. Victory went to Antón Barrutia.  The last time Barcelona held a time trial was back in 1978, also in Montjuïc. Victory went to Bernard Hinault, who inaugurated a brilliant victory tally featuring five Tours de France, three Giros d’Italia and two Vueltas.  

The City of Barcelona has also seen the Tour de France ride through in 2009, with a stage finale won by Norwegian rider Thor Hushovd (stage 6) and the departure of the 7th stage. It also hosts an emblematic and historic cycling race every year: the Volta a Catalunya.

Barcelona is now preparing to receive La Vuelta once again. The event will be broadcast on TV in almost 200 countries, with daily average ratings of 1.5 million viewers in Spain. The race mobilises a travelling caravan that transports over 2500 people, among them over 600 journalists from around 20 countries, and over 200 different types of media.
