We’re pleased to present your tour program for the 2026 Ultimate Vuelta a España 10 Day Tour, in the region of Andalusia, Spain

Many thanks again for bearing with us while we have brought everything together during the traditional festive season holiday period.

We’re very happy with the way the tour program, itinerary has come together on and off the bike. Each edition of our Ultimate Vuelta a España Tour is tailored to the group, to suit each parcour, and La Vuelta race route around Spain.

Our Start Point for the Ultimate 10 Day Vuelta a España Tour is Sevilla, in the southern Andalusia region Spain.

Sevilla is a great start location for our 10 Day Vuelta a España Tour, it’s centrally located in the beautiful region of Andalusia, allowing us to see multiple stages while the Vuelta makes its way through Andalusia, and well connected by Sevilla and Malaga international [inter-Europe] Airports and train services.

With a beautiful rich cultural background, the region of Sevilla is the perfect location for the start of our Tour. Culturally, Sevilla embodies the essence of Andalusian identity.

It is considered the spiritual heart of flamenco, with its music and dance deeply embedded in Romani, Moorish, Jewish, and rural Andalusian traditions.

The historic bars, warm climate, street-life culture, and strong food traditions make the Seville region one of the best-known ambassadors of tapas. Many Spaniards and visitors today consider it a top tapas region —and culturally, it plays a major role in the tapas identity.

Below we’ve outlined our tour program. We supply this information to assist you in confirming plans, and to shine a light on the introductory details for your Ultimate Vuelta a España adventure.

Your Ultimate 10 Day Vuelta a España Tour Start Location: Sevilla, Spain.

Our Suggestions – Options How to Get to Sevilla, Spain. Below we outline a few suggestions on how to arrive to Spain and options to arrive to Sevilla, these are by no means the only options available, we list a few, yet as always options will be varied based on the country where you are departing from, your preferred airline/ carrier etc.

Option 1: Fly to Sevilla Airport (SVQ) Sevilla airport is well connected with many European flight destinations. Sevilla airport is located close to the city centre of Sevilla, you can get from the airport to the city centre with public transport options (airport shuttle bus), or by taxi (approx. 15-20mins). We’ll update everyone in the group with the details of our Tour start hotel shortly.

Option 2: By train to Sevilla Santa Justa Train

Station. Sevilla Santa Justa train station has high speed services from Madrid, Barcelona and Cordoba. Sevilla Santa Justa station is a short 10min drive to the city centre of Sevilla.

We always recommend arriving to our tour start – team hotel, or the country in which your tour starts at least the day prior to your tour start. In our years of experience, we have observed that guests who arrive early, or on Day 0 are better able to respond to potential travel disruptions like flight delays, missed connections and lost luggage. In general, they are better rested, less stressed, less likely to get sick while on tour, much happier and ready for their adventure than those who arrive fatigued on Day 1.

NB: There’s no official program today Day 0 Pre tour, it’s arrival day, your Ride International tour staff, our tour staff will arrive at our tour start hotel at various points throughout the day.

We’ll all be connected via a WhatsApp chat group, we create the group chat prior to your tour start so that we can all communicate.

Late in the day once your staff are all at our team hotel, we can assist with bike assembly and or introducing you to your hire bike. We carry an extensive tool kit with everything to assemble bikes, including torque wrenches, pedal spanners, high pressure pumps etc, should you require any proprietary tools specific to your bike model it’s best to bring them along
