Barcelona

Barcelona and the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya go hand in hand since the first edition of the race, in 1911, starting from the Catalan capital. Since then, this place has been present in each and every one of the 102 disputed editions of the home cycling race, and this 2024 will be the seventieth edition in which the race starts and/or finishes in Barcelona.

With more than 1,150 kilometers of cycling routes, Barcelona is not only a bicycle-friendly city, but also a stronghold in the organization of major events, such as the Volta a Catalunya and La Vuelta 2023. Its cycling infrastructure and scenic routes have made the city a meeting place for lovers of two wheels.

Barcelona is an inclusive, open, vibrant and cosmopolitan city. Its streets breathe modernism, design and innovative talent, and invite us to enjoy its artistic and musical scene, taste its internationally renowned gastronomy and discover its varied commercial offer.

Volta a Catalunya 2024 - Route of Stage 7

The last day of the Volta a Catalunya brings a route that could be relatively quiet, but with the intense fight for the podium, there is hope for a lot of excitement. The riders will ride through the streets of Barcelona; they must initially climb the third category Coll de la Creu de L'Ordal, and after racing the last two intermediate sprints of the competition one followed by the other in less than 5 kilometers, they will enter a circuit where they must climb six times the Alt de Castell de Montjuic.
