One of the country’s premier cycling races will get underway from Campoamor Beach on Wednesday.
The 1st Stage time trial of la Vuelta Ciclista de la Comunidad Valenciana will start at La Glea at 2pm. The mayor, Emilio Bascuñana, and the Valencia Deputy of Sports, Pascual Díaz, came together to publicise the event last week.
The stage, 37.9 km long, will pass through the pedanías of Torremendo and Hurchillo, before finishing in Orihuela City at the Puente de Levante.
