After last year's event was curtailed by protesting farmers which resulted in the outcome being decided by a single 4.6km time trial, the organisers and riders will be hoping this year goes much smoother.
Celebrating its 71st edition, 100 years since its first in 1925, this year's Vuelta a Andalucia will cover over 800 kilometres across five stages with two tough summit finishes on the first two stages to set the scene for the rest of the week.
Heading the line up of riders is Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) who, fresh from his first ever stage race victory in the AlUla Tour, will be eager to show off his new colors once more. Going up against Pidcock will be a raft of talent such as Enric Mas (Movistar Team), Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Tobias Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility).
Starting with a bang there is an uphill finish right away on stage 1 at Cueva de Nerja and the following day the race crosses five huge peaks before reaching its second uphill finish at Torredelcampo. Following this abrupt start stages 3 and 4 are a little more gentle, more lumpy than mountainous before the final stage which is split into two distinct parts. The 172 kilometres from Benahavís to La Línea de la Concepción that make up stage 5 feature multiple mountain passes over its first 130 kilometres then a flat run to the line for the final 40.
The race kicked off with an explosive first stage which saw last year’s winner Maxim Van Gils take the win and first leaders jersey at the end of the relentlessly hilly route to Cueva de Nerja. Stage two is set to be as hard if not harder so expect more aggressive riding from the main protagonists as they try to wrestle the race lead off Van Gils.

Watch a Vuelta a Andalucia live stream from abroad
It's only natural that you might want to watch a 2025 Vuelta a Andalucia live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when the race is on?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on planet Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favourite right now is NordVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view an U.K. service, you'd select United Kingdom from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Discovery+, for example, and enjoy the live stream just as you would at home.
