First Edition: 1935
The Vuelta a España is the third and most recent Grand Tour in the road cycling season. Having had it's first edition in 1935, it was a late addition but having came from a country where the cycling tradition has always been very big and having grown the format of 21 days, it became the third Grand Tour together with the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.
Taking place during late summer it is frequently a race affected by the heat, as the peloton frequently finds itself on the hot plains of central Spain. With several mountain ranges, cultures and different kinds of landscape throughout the Iberian country, the Vuelta a España not only brings in a very exciting race in cycling but also an interesting event.
