We are proud, for the 5th year in a row, to offer the chance to watch one of the world´s greatest road races, La Vuelta a España 2013. As a local and official VIP tour operator of La Vuelta, we give you the chance to view stage finishes from VIP viewing areas, stand on the podium, have behind the scenes race access, stay in the team hotels and of course ride some of the famous climbs to the finish only hours before the peloton arrives. This is as close as it gets to actually being in the race!

The 2013 route of La Vuelta can only be described as stunning. Taking in a whole lap of Spain, including the Summits of Andalucia, the cyclists will also venture into Andorra and France....3 Countries, 1 Race! The French stage will be special as it has been planned to coincide with the celebrations of 100 years of the Tour de France and you could be there to see it.

Our group samples the podium atmosphere as we are introduced to the crowd

With limited places (we only take a small group) and full support with guides and SAG vans (fully accredited to drive the race route), this trip is for anybody who wants to enjoy the unique spectacle of this Spanish race up close and personal. With an ex-Vuelta a España masters rider to help lead the way, this year promises to be our strongest yet.

"Wonderful experience with Geoff and Dean who did everything and more to make this an especially great holiday. Riding at your own pace was part of the deal. Food accommodation and riding were great and the finale in Madrid in the VIP tent a huge bonus. Great value for money. We're looking forward to coming back next year for more." Colin, Australia (Vuelta 2012)
With less crowds than the Tour de France, our Vuelta tours enable you the opportunity to ride the famous climbs on race day and give you unrivalled access to the incredible buzz inside and surrounding a Grand Tour. We work closely with La Vuelta organisers to ensure you have a great time.
How close? We get to hear Chris Froome of Team Sky being interviewed by ITV at a stage finish
Our days will include a ride in the morning, usually along the race route, a break for lunch and then we ride up the big climb of the day to our viewing point or privileged stage finish access, enjoying the building atmosphere. With charming hotels, great food and some fantastic cycling all included, this a trip designed for the cycling enthusiast. Come and join us to see who will be wearing the leader´s red jersey!

Ride the same roads as the peloton on race day
VUELTA 2 TOUR: 6th to 16th September 2013 (Last week & half to Madrid)
	3 Countries, 1 Race
	This can only be described as an "epic" trip as this 11 day journey will take you to not only see the race in Spain, but also in Andorra (its own principality) and France. From a pick up in Madrid, we will travel to the ski resort of Andorra to watch the stage finish, and onto France to witness the grand finish on the Tour de France climb of the Peyresourde (in 2012 TdF). As we are in the French Pyrenees, we thought we would stay and ascend the famous Tourmalet! Then it's back into Spain as we ride to the stage finish line at the now classic Peña Cabarga, before we try the thrilling Angliru in Asturias. All in time to head back to the finale in Madrid....epic! As usual, fully guided and supported with stage VIP accesses (including France and Andorra), and 4 star hotels along the way, this will be a trip of a lifetime. Read Full Trip details HERE >

SEE OUR PHOTO GALLERY FOR THE PICTURES OF THE LAST VUELTA TRIP

Our 2012 Vuelta tour was just incredible! We saw an amazing contest with the eventual winner Contador showing his form against the contenders of Froome, Rodriguez and Valverde. With unrivalled access, we rode the climbs and sat back with complimentary drinks and snacks in the VIP areas to watch the pros attack the finish. From celebrating with Team Argos Shimano at the end in Madrid to riding through some beautiful mountain scenery on crowd lined roads, we fully soaked up the special atmosphere. It was a trip that will live long in the memory of all those who came.
