Route

Prior to the route announcement, Spanish newspaper El País reported rumours that the challenging Angliru climb would be included in the race for the first time in 2026, following previous suggestions that the climb could be included in the race in future.

The route was announced in March 2026. It comprised seven days of racing with seven stages, covering a total of with of elevation gain. The entire race was held in the north-west of the country, with the first four stages taking place in Galicia, before stage 5 in Castile and León. The race finished with two summit finishes in Asturias – stage 6 finishing at the Les Praeres de Nava (a nearly climb with an average gradient of 13.5%, with a maximum gradient of 27%), and stage 7 finishing at the Alto de l'Angliru (a climb at an average gradient of 10%, with a maximum gradient of 23%).
