Overview
Our trip to the best of Week 2 of La Vuelta a España provides a fantastic mix of LIVE race-viewing and challenging rides on the legendary routes and climbs in Asturias.
During the 6-day trip you’ll ride 3 of the most challenging and iconic climbs in Spain: the Angliru, La Farrapona and the Gamoniteiru. You’ll ride ahead of the peloton on race-day on both the Angliru and La Farrapona. The Gamoniteiru isn’t included in this year’s route but we couldn’t spend a few days in Asturias and not climb this spectacular climb, last included in La Vuelta in 2021 when Migel Angel Lopez won the stage ahead of Primoz Roglič.
You’ll witness 2 of the key mountain stages: Stage 13 on the Angliru and Stage 14 on La Farrapona, where you’ll have the unque opportunity to ride across the Finish Line, followed by a photo shoot on the official podium.
There’s also the opportunity to meet the riders and the teams in the VIP area at the start of Stage 15 in Vegadeo.
An intense few days filled with thrilling race-viewing and stunning rides. No-one does La Vuelta like Thomson!
