Overview

Ride across the dramatic Cordillera Cantabrica, home to Spain’s most challenging climbs, and conquer the legendary climbs of the Vuelta a España in this incredible week of cycling. Includes Los Machucos, Lagos de Covadonga and the Angliru, the toughest climb in pro cycling. Each day you can choose between two fully supported ride distances: Epic Ride – our most challenging option, designed for riders who want the full distance and maximum elevation gain, Performance Ride – a shorter route that captures the same highlights and legendary passes, but with reduced distance and climbing. This flexibility allows you to switch between Epic and Performance rides throughout the week, depending on how you feel – giving you the freedom to shape your trip, day by day. What truly defines the experience, however, is the team supporting you throughout the journey. Every trip is led by a dedicated Trip Manager and expert ride leaders who ensure every detail is handled – from seamless logistics and expertly led rides to the legendary Thomson ride support. The Cordillera Cantabrica mountain range, with its non-existent traffic and extreme geographic profile, is one of the best kept secrets in European cycling!
