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.

  • Cambribike is born from the same cycling tradition of Cambrils

    “It’s an event I was already familiar with, as a resident of Cambrils. Although being part of the local government makes it feel much more intense. It’s a very interesting event, with activities focused on family and health—very much about life. The idea is to promote Cambrils as a healthy, tourist-friendly, and sporty town. “That’s how Patricia de Miguel describes Cambrike.”

    And the Councilor for Tourism of the Cambrils City Council admits that “I hope the opening day arrives soon. This is the 7th edition! “.

    The Cambribike is nothing more than the confirmation that “Cambrils has a strong cycling tradition, and we’ve been welcoming cyclists to our town for a long time . We hold the Sports Tourism certification, thanks to the vibrant cycling ecosystem we have, with hotels and facilities tailored to cyclists’ needs, travel agencies for cyclists, workshops, and more. For cyclists, their bikes are treasures; they want them well cared for, and here they are. “.

    However, cycling brings in customers all year round:There’s an atmosphere that makes us attractive, with magnificent weather for almost 12 months of the year . Located on the Costa Dorada, between sea and mountains, it’s easily accessible and offers very attractive routes. “.

    Cambribike is like Cambrils, suitable for everyone

    Patricia remembers that “Cambribike is a sporting event for cyclists to enjoy with their families . It’s open to everyone, adults and children alike. We want it to be inclusive so the whole family can enjoy it together. “.

    And so it is, here “There’s something for everyone: mountain biking, road cycling, trials riding for all ages; even kids on tricycles can participate. There are activities for children from 0 to 3 years old. Bring the whole family along and enjoy yourselves together! “.

    In this way, “ the event has continued to position itself not only in Cambrils, but also throughout the region, ” Patricia continues.. It helps us to reduce seasonality, between Easter and Summer, between two peak periods of visitor numbers.“.

    A story that activates a virtuous circle: “ When Cambrils is filled with athletes and their families, it’s noticeable throughout the commerce, but the people of the municipality can also enjoy it, anyone can come .”

    There’s barely a week left…

  • Everything about the Kids Cup BTT and the Popular Walk

    “The Rodabike family, made up of the club, the store and our cycling collective, has been actively supporting CambriBike since 2018. We are very happy with the continuity of this project and to be able to organize, one more year, a set of activities and races designed for all audiences. For us, cycling is a passion that we want to share with the whole municipality, and that is why we have designed a program where the youngest and families are the real protagonists”.

    This is how they present themselves from Rodabike to talk to us about various events that will take part in the Cambribike.

    On the first day, the event opens with the road education circuit Educa , a space that will operate from five to eight in the afternoon on Friday and which will also operate on Saturday and Sunday.

    This free proposal allows boys and girls to learn traffic rules in a fun way, turning learning into a game of skill where you only need to bring your own bike.

    It’s the best way to warm up your engines for a weekend full of movement and fun on wheels.

    Saturday’s day starts with the energy of the Kids Cup BTT, a Provincial Cup competition that brings together categories from pre-Benjamin to children.

    The bib check takes place at half past eight to start the departures at a quarter past nine in the morning.

    In the afternoon, at five, one of the most special moments arrives: the seventh Open Kids Cambrils.

    This charity race is open to minors between zero and fourteen years of age and all proceeds go to the ANTIAN Association .

    The registration fee includes a medal, gift and a coca con chocolate snack.

    The final touch is on Sunday the 24th with the great Popular Parade , an unmissable event that starts at half past ten in the morning.

    This march invites whole families to tour Cambrils enjoying the landscape and the pleasure of pedaling together.

    Throughout the morning, the road education circuit will remain open until two in the afternoon.

    Remember that the use of a helmet is mandatory in all tests and that you can pick up bib numbers at the Rodabike stand throughout the fair.

    See you on the Walk!

  • The Cambrils BTT Orígens and the Bioracer Cambrils Road summarize the best of the territory

    Time has established Cambrils as a benchmark destination for cycling enthusiasts thanks to a privileged combination of geographical and climatic factors that allow the sport to be enjoyed all year round.

    Located in the heart of the Costa Dorada, the town offers an exceptional setting where the sea and the mountains blend together just a few kilometers away , allowing routes that run through flat landscapes and challenging ascents towards the inland mountain ranges.

    This is how the Cambrils BTT Orígens is created

    This duality is perfectly reflected in the proposal of Cambrils BTT Orígens, a name that seeks to reclaim the rural roots of the municipality and its surroundings of agriculture and paths with history .

    “A name that highlights what Cambrils is, that environment of farmers, vineyards and olive groves, a reminder of our authenticity,” says Joan Carbonell, head of Naturetime Events, the organizer of the outing.

    The terrain of the area allows for routes to be offered for all profiles , from families to more expert cyclists looking for maximum performance.

    There are four versions: The 22 and 35 kilometer circuits are designed for those who want a more accessible experience; the first with a distinctly family-friendly character and the second extending to Vilanova d’Escornalbou to offer a longer route without excessive technical demands.

    For the more adventurous, the 47 and 55 kilometer distances delve into the elevation changes of the Llaberia mountain range and the foothills of the Baix Camp, introducing time trials as a differentiating element.

    These individually timed sections allow riders to compete against the clock on specific uphill sections, with prizes awarded for manual, electric and gravel mountain bikes.

    “You can do it at your own pace or compete,” Joan points out.

    The road version: Bioracer Cambrils Road

    As for road cycling, the Bioracer Cambrils Road offers an immersion in the Priorat landscape through routes of 85 and 125 kilometers.

    “The two routes through Baix Camp and Priorat Sur combine low-traffic roads with great scenery and a bit of a challenge on some climbs,” Joan tells us.

    These routes stand out for passing through very quiet roads and an environment of great visual beauty that includes the passage through Escaladei and La Morera de Montsant .

    The star challenge for long-distance cyclists is the climb to No Plores Nen, an emblematic sector that defines the toughness and appeal of this area from Torroja de Priorat to La Morera.

    The entire route is conducted under a philosophy of calm and safe walking, with a safety capsule from the Servei Català de Trànsit , avoiding large crowds to guarantee a close and quality experience for each participant.

    Cycling event with a “seaside flavor”

    The Cambrils experience would not be complete without mentioning its gastronomic excellence, which becomes the best reward after the physical effort.

    The event is defined as a ride with a taste of the sea, since upon reaching the finish line, cyclists can enjoy a typical dish from the local cuisine, such as noodles rossejats or fideuá, allowing them to taste the culinary essence of the place .

    This combination of challenging routes, authentic agricultural landscapes and a top-notch cultural and gastronomic offering comes together, remember, in the Cambribike area.
