## Route

The route was announced in March 2024, with the race extended to 8 stages in length. The route was considered to be much more difficult than the 2023 edition – with three mountain top finishes in two mountain ranges (Pyrenees and Sierra de Guadarrama), and around 126 km (78 mi) longer. The first rider to the top of the Valdesquí climb on the final stage was awarded the Cima Estela Domínguez, honouring the Spanish rider who was killed while training in 2023.
