🚴‍♂️ CYCLING IS BIG BUSINESS FOR THE COSTA BLANCA ☀️

Cycling on the Costa Blanca is much more than a sport. It has become an important part of the local tourism economy — bringing visitors, supporting businesses and helping extend the tourist season well beyond the traditional summer months.

When cyclists come to the Costa Blanca, they don't just ride their bikes.

They:

✅ Stay in hotels, apartments and villas
✅ Hire bikes and buy cycling equipment
✅ Visit cafés, bars and restaurants
✅ Use airport and cycling transfer services
✅ Book guides, tours and training camps
✅ Use local bike shops and mechanics
✅ Visit inland towns and villages that might otherwise see fewer tourists
✅ Return year after year — often bringing friends, clubs and cycling groups with them

And the figures are becoming increasingly significant.
More than 800,000 overnight stays in Alicante province during 2025 were linked specifically to cycling.

The Costa Blanca is also regularly chosen by some of the world's leading professional cycling teams for winter training camps, helping showcase our roads, mountains, towns and villages to cyclists around the world.

But professional cycling is only part of the story.

Thousands of amateur cyclists now travel here to experience the same roads, climbs and climate — creating opportunities for businesses right across the Costa Blanca.

🌍 Cycling tourism brings people here.
Local businesses give them reasons to stay, spend and return.
At Bikes Costa Blanca, our aim is to help connect visiting cyclists with the accommodation, bike hire, shops, cafés, transfers, tours and cycling services they need.

🚴 MORE CYCLING. A STRONGER COSTA BLANCA. ☀️

Alicante’s European Mobility Week is another positive sign of how cycling is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life across the Costa Blanca.

With bike workshops, family cycling activities, cycling education for young people and the Coastal Bike Path all forming part of the programme, events like this can help encourage more people to discover just how easy and enjoyable getting around by bike can be.

And the benefits can reach much further than the riders themselves.

✅ More people cycling locally
Helping build a stronger year-round cycling culture.
✅ Safer, more confident cyclists
Maintenance workshops and cycling education help people understand their bikes and use them safely.
✅ Introducing the next generation to cycling
Family rides and school initiatives can encourage young people to see cycling as both transport and recreation.
✅ More demand for cycling infrastructure
The more people who use bikes, the greater the case for connected, safe and accessible cycling routes.
✅ Supporting local businesses
Bike shops, repair workshops, cafés, accommodation, bike hire companies, tour operators and other local services can all benefit from a growing cycling community.
✅ Making the Costa Blanca even more attractive to visitors
A destination where cycling is visible, accessible and supported is an even stronger proposition for cycling holidays and active tourism.

The Costa Blanca already has the climate, mountains, coastline and roads.

Initiatives like Alicante Mobility Week help create the cycling culture and infrastructure to go with them.

🚴‍♀️ More people on bikes means more opportunities for the Costa Blanca.

At Bikes Costa Blanca, we want to help connect cyclists with the businesses, services, accommodation and experiences that make this region such a fantastic place to ride.

👉 Ride Local. Visit Local. Support Local.

🏆 FIVE STAGE WINS — MATTHEW BRENNAN DOES IT AGAIN! 🇬🇧

What an extraordinary performance from 21-year-old Matthew Brennan, who has claimed his fifth stage victory at La Vuelta 2026!

The young British star powered to victory on Stage 17 in 4 hours, 7 minutes and 15 seconds, completing a remarkable double after also winning Stage 16.

Brennan becomes the youngest rider to win back-to-back stages at La Vuelta—another incredible achievement during his Grand Tour debut.

Five stage victories and still counting! At just 21 years old, Matthew is showing the cycling world exactly what he can do.

Congratulations from everyone at Bikes Costa Blanca! 🧡🚴‍♂️
You went for number five and you got it—absolutely brilliant, Matthew! How is it looking for number 7?

🏆 FOUR STAGE WINS — WHAT A DEBUT! 🇬🇧

Matthew Brennan has done it again, powering to victory on Stage 16 of La Vuelta in 3 hours, 56 minutes and 33 seconds.

The 21-year-old British star has now won an incredible four stages during his debut La Vuelta—taking his career total to 23 victories.

Another superb team performance from Visma | Lease a Bike, with Wout van Aert delivering the perfect lead-out before Brennan finished the job.

Congratulations from everyone at Bikes Costa Blanca! 🚴‍♂️👏

Go for it, Matthew—there are still more stages to come. Can you
make it number five?

We’re all behind you! 🧡

🇬🇧🚴 WHAT A DEBUT — MATTHEW BRENNAN MAKES IT A VUELTA HAT-TRICK!

What a performance from Britain’s Matthew Brennan, taking another fantastic victory on Stage 11 of La Vuelta 2026.

The 21-year-old Visma–Lease a Bike rider completed the stage in an impressive 3 hours, 17 minutes and 18 seconds.

🏆 That makes THREE stage victories in his very first Grand Tour.

And here’s an incredible statistic…

🔥 21 WINS AT JUST 21 YEARS OF AGE!

Brennan had already reached 21 professional road victories while still only 21 earlier in this year’s Vuelta.

Today’s victory makes his young career even more impressive.

Brennan had already won Stages 2 and 5, but today again showed just how calm and confident he has become.

The run into Lorca included a very sharp final turn just before the finish.

Brennan didn’t panic.

He kept his position, handled the corner brilliantly and still had the speed to finish the job.

🇬🇧 Another brilliant day for British cycling.

At just 21, Brennan is making a huge impression on one of cycling’s biggest stages.

From everyone at Bikes Costa Blanca, congratulations Matthew.

We wish you every success for the rest of La Vuelta 2026.

Three stage wins already… could there be another one still to come? 👀🚴

🚴 HAS LA VUELTA A ESPAÑA 2026 BEEN A SUCCESS SO FAR? 🇪🇸

The short answer is yes — absolutely.

We are only around halfway through La Vuelta 2026, but it has already produced extraordinary racing, drama and huge exposure.

From spectacular mountain stages to serious crashes, this year’s race has certainly kept cycling fans watching.

📺 So, how many people are watching?

The television figures in Spain have been particularly impressive.
• Stage 7 attracted around 1.16 million viewers, with a 14.4% audience share on La 1.
• Enric Mas’s victory on Alto de Aitana attracted around 1.18 million viewers, with a 13.5% share.
• Stage 8 attracted more than 700,000 viewers on La 2, while La Vuelta also led Teledeporte’s specialist channels.

La Vuelta is also broadcast internationally across around 190 countries.

RTVE Play is showing all 21 stages, with viewers even able to choose between six different camera feeds.

💥 Has everything gone smoothly?

Definitely not.

Stage 8 produced several crashes and the biggest shock of the race so far.

Race leader Tadej Pogačar crashed heavily and was forced to abandon La Vuelta.

The accident left him with several injuries, including a fractured collarbone and concussion.

There were also several other crashes during the stage, increasing discussion around rider safety.

And what about the Costa Blanca?

For us, Stage 9 was one of the highlights of La Vuelta so far.

The riders travelled 187.5 kilometres from Villajoyosa to the summit of Alto de Aitana.

Almost 5,000 metres of climbing made it one of the toughest days of this year’s race.

Best of all, Spain’s Enric Mas won on Aitana and strengthened his grip on the red jersey.

Huge crowds also lined the roads, once again putting the Costa Blanca in front of an international cycling audience.

🌍 Does La Vuelta really help local tourism?

There is good evidence that it does.
In Valencia, towns along the route reported packed bars, busy tourism offices and large crowds during the race.

La Vuelta also moves a travelling organisation of more than 3,500 people around its host regions.

More than 1,000 accredited journalists from 34 countries help distribute those images around the world.

That means exposure for hotels, restaurants, cafés, attractions and, importantly for us, cycling destinations and cycling businesses.

🚴 Why does that matter to the Costa Blanca?

Because millions of people are seeing the same roads, mountains and landscapes that we can ride throughout the year.

Aitana showed exactly why professional cyclists and amateur riders continue choosing this part of Spain.

• Fantastic roads.
• Serious climbs.
• Beautiful scenery.
• Great weather.

And a cycling culture which continues to grow.

At Bikes Costa Blanca, we think La Vuelta provides one of the best advertisements our region could ask for.

And there is still plenty of racing to come before the finish in Granada on 13 September.

What has been your favourite moment of La Vuelta 2026 so far? 🚴🇪🇸

I particularly like this approach because “Has La Vuelta a España 2026 been a success so far?” gives you a strong AEO question, while the sections underneath provide direct answers and evidence.

Movistar wins again after five years

🇪🇸🚴 WHAT A DAY FOR SPAIN, MOVISTAR & THE COSTA BLANCA! 🏆⛰️

Enric Mas wins Stage 9 of La Vuelta a España 2026! 🔴🇪🇸

What a spectacular day of cycling on the Costa Blanca.

Starting in Villajoyosa and finishing high on the Alto de Aitana, today’s punishing 187.4 km mountain stage delivered more than 5,000 metres of climbing across some of the incredible roads and mountains that make the Costa Blanca such a special cycling destination.

And at the end of it all — Spain’s Enric Mas of Movistar Team took a fantastic victory! 🏆

It is a particularly important result for Movistar, ending a five-year wait for a Vuelta stage victory. Their previous stage win came back in 2021, when Miguel Ángel López won on the Gamoniteiru.

Mas also started today wearing the Carrefour-sponsored red leader’s jersey, putting a Spanish rider back at the head of La Vuelta for the first time since 2018. 🔴

👏 Bikes Costa Blanca sends huge congratulations to Enric Mas, Movistar Team and Spanish cycling.

But today was also a huge victory for the Costa Blanca.

Millions of cycling fans have once again seen our mountains, villages, roads and spectacular scenery — the same roads that cyclists from around the world can come and ride throughout the year.

This is why the Costa Blanca is one of Europe’s great cycling destinations. ☀️🚴⛰️

Congratulations Enric — and congratulations Costa Blanca! 🇪🇸❤️

🚴🇪🇸 LA VUELTA IS COMING TO THE COSTA BLANCA – AND THIS IS ONE NOT TO MISS! 🇪🇸🚴

This Sunday, 30 August 2026, Stage 9 of La Vuelta takes place entirely within the province of Alicante, starting beside the Mediterranean in Villajoyosa before heading deep into the Costa Blanca mountains for a spectacular summit finish on the Alto de Aitana.

And what a stage it promises to be! 🔥⛰️

📅 SUNDAY 30 AUGUST 2026
📍 Start: Villajoyosa Port
⏰ Neutralised start: 12:26
🏁 Finish: Alto de Aitana
⏰ Expected finish: around 17:14
🚴 Distance: 187.4 km
⛰️ Elevation: nearly 5,000 metres
🔥 Stage: Mountain
🎟️ Spectator admission: FREE

The riders barely get a chance to settle into the saddle before the climbing begins.

Seven major climbs feature during the day, including some roads that will be very familiar to anyone who has cycled here:

⛰️ Puerto de Tàrbena – Cat 2 – 7.2 km at 5.4%
🚴 Coll de Rates – 1.5 km at 6.2%
🔥 Alto de El Miserat – Cat 1 – 5.2 km at a brutal 10%
⛰️ Port de Tollos – Cat 3 – 4 km at 5.7%
⛰️ Port de Tudons – Cat 2
⛰️ Port de Benifallim – Cat 2
🏁 Alto de Aitana – 22 km at 5.8%

And don't let that 5.8% average on Aitana fool you. After almost 5,000 metres of climbing, the riders will face sections approaching 9% as they battle towards the summit.

📍 APPROXIMATE TIMES TO SEE THE RACE
🚴 Villajoyosa start – 12:26
🚴 Tàrbena & Coll de Rates – 13:15–13:45
🚴 Orba & Pego – 13:45–14:15
🚴 Vall de Gallinera – 14:15–14:45
🚴 Gorga & Benasau – 15:15–15:45
🚴 Sella – 16:15–16:45
🏁 Alto de Aitana finish – around 17:14

The stage travels through 27 municipalities across Alicante Province, so there are plenty of opportunities to see the peloton without heading all the way to the finish.

The final climb is particularly special. Alto de Aitana returns to La
Vuelta after a decade away, in the year marking the 25th anniversary of its first appearance in the race.

At 1,558 metres, Aitana is the highest mountain in Alicante Province, and the summit finish takes the riders onto a normally restricted road leading towards the Spanish Air Force radar station.

With a rest day coming immediately afterwards on Monday, 31 August, there will be little reason for the GC contenders to hold anything back.

🔥 This could be one of the defining stages of La Vuelta 2026.
If you're anywhere near the route this Sunday, get out there, find yourself a good spot and enjoy one of the world's greatest bike races right here on the Costa Blanca.

👏 Give the riders a huge Costa Blanca welcome!

🚴 Bikes Costa Blanca will be cheering them all the way to the top
of Aitana.

🚴🇬🇧 MATTHEW BRENNAN DOES IT AGAIN!

What a result for Matthew Brennan, who has now won Stage 5 of La

Vuelta 2026 and claimed his second stage victory of this year’s race. 👏🏆

To win once at La Vuelta is special.
To win twice is something else altogether.

Matthew said he wanted to win two stages, and now he’s gone and done exactly that. Incredible.

A huge well done to Matthew and everyone at Team Visma | Lease a Bike on another brilliant performance.

🧡 Everyone at Bikes Costa Blanca is cheering you on — keep flying the flag and enjoy the moment! If we find your glasses we will keep them as a souvenir.
