Next 3 September, the Spanish Cycle Race will come through the city of Orihuela
and the Vega Baja’s region.

Orihuela will be the major city during the seventh stage of the Spanish Cycle
Race. Cyclists will go through the very same town centre, all along the most
emblematic and nicest streets of Orihuela: Avenida Duque de Tamames, Avenida
Teodomiro, Calle José Antonio, Calderón de la Barca, Calle Loaces, Alfonso
XIII and calle Pintor Agrasot.
In total, over 14 towns in the Vega Baja’s region will be a part of the route
in this Cycle Race, which will have its finishing line at Avenida Marqués de
Molins, in Orihuela. The towns visited by the race will be: Jacarilla,
Benejúzar, Algorfa, Benijófar, Rojales, Formentera del Segura, Almoradí,
Dolores, Catral, Redován, Albatera, Callosa del Segura, Cox and Granja de
Rocamora.
When the seventh stage is finished in Orihuela, the winner will wear a jersey
which will be, for the first time, red-coloured, in order to honour the success
the Spanish sports have been having in the late times.
At the Avenida de Teodomiro and the Gabriel Miro square there will be a leisure
and show area for all hundreds of people coming to see the cycle race.
