La Vuelta Femenina (Spanish: [la ˈβwelta femeˈnina]; "The Female Tour") is an elite women's professional bicycle race held in Spain. The race is organised by Unipublic and Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), which also organises the men's Vuelta a España. It is part of the UCI Women's World Tour.
Some teams and media have referred to the race as a 'Grand Tour', as it is one of the biggest events on the women's calendar.[1] However, the race does not meet the UCI definition of such an event.[2]
La Vuelta Femenina replaces the Challenge by La Vuelta stage race (previously one day race) run between 2015 and 2022, staged at the same time as the men's tour.
