Review of Villanueva de Valdegovía
Villanueva de Valdegovía is a small rural municipality in Alava with a particularity that draws the attention of everyone who visits it: the Torre de los Varona. This historical complex, made up of a palace and a defensive tower, is considered to be the best preserved medieval fortification in Alava. After the passage of the World Tour peloton in 2018, on the occasion of the Vuelta al País Vasco, its watchtower is preparing to make the great leap to La Vuelta.
Review of Vitoria-Gasteiz
More than 60 years have passed since the first stage departure of La Vuelta from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Some avenues that, although modernized, have remained almost intact throughout the decades. The excellent work of preserving the medieval old town that defines the city has made Vitoria-Gasteiz an indispensable destination for lovers of history. History that is also a cyclist, because among its cobblestones grew Igor González de Galeano, podium of La Vuelta (1999), who also wore the yellow jersey of the 2002 Tour de France for a week.
