The The Catalan round has confirmed all the departure and arrival locations that will be part of the 2025 route.

After celebrating a 2024 edition that will be remembered for the high level of sportsmanship of the eventThe having world champion Tadej Pogacar among other world stars, and the high number of public who gathered in the streets to follow the stages, now 2025 the organization continues to work to maintain the quality bar achieved in previous years.

A route that can be seen in the following way on the calendar and that there will be three high-altitude finals, unpublished areas such as the case of the town of Paüls (Baix Ebre) or the municipality of Sant Vicenç de Castellet (Bages), the return to Montserrat after thirty years or the return to Berga at the end of it climbing Queralt, which left us with memories that traveled the world.

As in the past two editions, there will be a route three high finishesthe Generalitat de Catalunya Railway station (FGC) in La Molina (3rd stage), Montserrat (4th stage) and Queralt (6th stage).

In the case of The Molinaimpossible to forget the exciting finale experienced in 2022 between world champion and double Olympic medalist Remco Evenepoel and the Slovenian winner of the Vuelta, Primoz Roglic.

A stage in which the Belgian rider ended up winning and which, this time, is expected to be very controversial as the cyclists have to face the longest period of the entire 2025 rounddeparting from Viladecans, specifically from Viladecans The Style Outlets centre.

The beginning of the exam will re-enter Sant Feliu de Guíxolsa first stage departing and arriving in the town of Baix Empordà that will show us some of the most iconic places in the area.

tomorrow, The town of Banyoles will receive a test convoy in a stage that will connect the capital of Pla de l’Estany with Figueres, celebrating the passage of the Volta through the town for the 40th time in its history.

A stage in the regions of Girona that will cover some of the most popular routes among cyclists from all over the world.

On Wednesday, March 26, we will experience one of the most difficult stages of the next edition. The first arrival at altitude, in a 3rd stage takeoff from Viladecans the Style Outlets and ends at La Molina station. A long and difficult stage that will test the fitness of the runners.

The fourth episode will be one of the highlights and one of the most anticipated novelties. Through first time Sant Vicenç de Castellet will host a test start stage, which will bring runners 30 years later, to the mountain of Montserrat.

Just one day later high arrival in La Molinathe runners will not have time to recover, because the next day they will face the second high-end test.

On Friday, March 28, it will be the turn of Terres de l’Ebre. Another of the great novelties and a long-awaited stage in the South of Cataloniawhich will introduce the municipality of Paüls (Baix Ebre) and end in the capital of Montsià, Amposta. We are talking about a stage that will show us a singular and unique view of the Terres de l’Ebre, thanks to passing the test in its four regions: Baix Ebre, Montsià, Terra Alta and Ribera d’Ebre.

The last stage of the test needs no introduction. After debuting in the last test edition, the high finish in Queralt (Berguedà) promises intense emotions. An episode that last year left us with impressions that we will soon forget. The city of Berga will be the starting point of a stage that will travel through the region of Berguedà to tackle the ascent of Queralt. More than sixty years later, Volta returned to Berga and did so at the front door. The images of the best cyclists on the planet, together with the waves of fans who never stopped cheering on the runners, represent one of the most impressive images of the Catalan event.

Finally, On Sunday, March 30, it’s Barcelona’s turn.
