Vuelta a España Vuelta 2026 route rumours

[ice&fire]

Had the Canary Islands stages gone ahead, they would have finished at 2390m ASL only.

El Teide ya estaba listo para La Vuelta

La etapa tenía permisos de medio ambiente y acababa a 2.390 metros. Tenerife no quiere que este proyecto caiga en saco roto y ya trabaja en recuperarlo.

I can't believe how hard they're overselling Teide. It's not Roque de las Muchuchos

Welcome to Cycling for Instagram 101

They just need an iconic podium background after the hotel parking this year. If it can't be Teide it will be the Alhambra in Granada.

The ITT in the province of Cádiz seems confirmed. I'm surprised at the lack of stages in northern Spain. Looks like after the cancellation of the Canary Islands they're just having more stages in central, eastern and southern Spain.

thing is the northern regions have better climbs to work with.

Like how does a Giro without the Alps or a Tour without the Alps/Pyrenees sound?

sure, I agree, however, the organization didn't use many of the good combo's possible in the north. So, if it is all about _____/ I prefer at least some variation.
