Today we join the spectacle of the Vuelta at the stage finish line in the town of Oviedo, situated between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay. Oviedo is the capital of Asturias and known for its medieval old town, including the site of the Gothic Oviedo Cathedral.
Enjoy your own ride across this beautiful countryside with plenty of time to enjoy lunch of fabada Asturiana, Fabada is made with beans and one of the most well-known Asturian dishes before the Vuelta arrives at full speed.
This is a flat stage for the peloton along Spain’s northern coastline to Gijon. The final climb up to the Alto de la Madera will provide the opportunity for a late attack to the finish in Oviedo. Although with the mountains tomorrow expect the sprinters to be searching out an important victory.

An amazing opportunity to see the Vuelta action live from the roadside pass you by on several occasions today as the riders zig zag through the Asturias mountains with 4 mountain passes during the stage, three 1st category and one second category climbs including two of the most famous mountain passes in western Asturias: Puerto del Conio and Puerto del Pozo de las Mujeres Muertas, before the final difficult section to the finish line.
We also have several great ride options allowing for all abilities, take the comfortable option or challenge the legs on the Puerto del Acebo. Recover with traditional local cuisine in the heart of the Asturias mountains and immerse yourself in Spain at the Vuelta 2019.

We are right amongst the action today with the stage start in Pravia this is the critical Mountain stage before a well-deserved rest day for the professional Peloton and the winner of todays stage could possibly be wearing the leaders Red Jersey in Madrid!
This very difficult mountain stage has five climbs with the final 3 running back to back, Puerto del Morabio, La Cobertoria and the finish line at La Cubilla.
Our full day starts with the showcase of a stage start at this fantastic Grand Tour event, often a highlight for many of our guests as you explore amongst the world class teams of professional cycling. It’s a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes of a 3 week Grand Tour bike race and all the preparation required of both riders and equipment prior to their day in the saddle. Enjoy the presentation of the riders at the sign-on podium, grab that classic memento photo of your favourite stars or say hello to your heroes of the road!
