The Costa Daurada will once again be cycling territory in 2026. The 105th edition of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya will feature a stage entirely within the region, a territory that combines beaches, mountainous interior, and roads ideal for cycling. The race will start in Mont-roig del Camp and finish in Vila-seca , but the most important aspect is not the specific towns, but the region itself: its landscapes and roads are perfect for enjoying cycling.
Three years ago, a stage finishing in Cambrils provided one of the most memorable days of the Volta a Catalunya: Richard Carapaz and Sergio Higuita staged a historic breakaway, riding through landscapes like Prades, the Coll de la Teixeta, Capafonts, and La Mussara. That day it became clear that the Costa Daurada is not just sea and beaches, but also mountainous interior and roads with everything a cyclist could ask for.
In 2026, the Volta a Catalunya will once again travel along the Costa Daurada, although the stage won’t pass directly through Cambrils, but very close by, demonstrating that the area remains a pioneering destination for cycle tourism . Its landscapes, pleasant climate, and combination of sea and mountains make the entire region ideal for cycling routes of all levels.
Cambrils, located on the Costa Daurada, is a good example of this: its surroundings offer quiet roads, spectacular views and perfect spots for cycling, the result of a territory that has committed to cycle tourism and has developed infrastructure and services adapted to those who enjoy cycling.
For now, the route of the Vuelta a España is still unknown , but everything points to the Costa Daurada potentially hosting another major professional cycling event in the near future.
