What cycling events take place in Barcelona?
Barcelona hosts emblematic cycling events every year, such as the Volta a Catalunya, the start of La Vuelta Femenina and races such as the Mussara 24H, as well as being the host of the Grand Départ of the 2026 Tour de France.
The city has established itself as a benchmark for international cycling. Among its most prominent events is the Volta a Catalunya, one of the oldest races in the world, which every spring attracts leading figures from the international peloton. In addition, La Vuelta Femenina is held in Barcelona with support from initiatives such as Women In Bike, which promote women’s participation in the sport. In 2026, Barcelona will make history by becoming the starting city for the Tour de Francia, a milestone that reinforces its standing as a global sporting capital. For enthusiasts, events such as Tandas Bicircuit and the Mussara 24H BiCircuit make it possible to experience cycling at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, whether in open sessions or 24-hour endurance challenges.
The calendar also includes urban proposals such as Barcelona-Sitges, the CicloBCN event (congresses and activities around cycling mobility), and mountain races such as the Challenge Barcelona BTT and La Vuelta a Rubí BTT. For those seeking extreme adventures, the ultra-distance Madrid to Barcelona event connects the two capitals in a challenge only for the bravest. With this variety of proposals, Barcelona offers cycling for every taste: professional, amateur, urban, women’s, recreational and competitive. A city pedalling strongly towards the future.
