The Vuelta will start in Utrecht in August. This is now becoming clear to many in the Netherlands. The #vamosholanda is increasingly being shared and the organisation is also putting more and more effort into activation. Spanish regions are also active in promotion. Several regions are presenting themselves the coming weeks in Utrecht <\/a>in a pop-up store during the Sustainable Vuelta Weeks. A nice catch-up on the sustainable theme of La Vuelta Holanda. What stands out, some regions slightly less known for cycling emphatically seek the spotlight. Among them, the region of Arag\u00f3n, in the north-east. With its capital Zaragoza, this is an often forgotten region. Unjustly so? In any case, we sought out where to go cycling in this region. The result? 5x climbs in unknown Aragon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pico del Buitre: definition of a goat trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you think of Spain and the Vuelta, the mega-steep climb of the Alto de l'Angliru<\/a> for you. In Aragon, they do a nice job with the Pico del Buitre. Granted, it is less steep and fierce than other goat trails, but with 12 kilometres and 7.5 per cent average, with the last five kilometres getting above 10 per cent, this can rightly be called a good goat trail. In the 2019 Vuelta, Ang\u00e8l Madrazo was the first to reach the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
