Spain 2026

Spain runs year-round thanks to the climate. Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia Marathons are the big roads (Valencia is now Europe's fastest), and trail thrives in the Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada and Mallorca's Tramuntana ridge — Ultra-Trail Cap de Creus, Trail Ultra Pirineu, MIM Mallorca. Cyclists flock to Mallorca every winter and spring for the island's perfect roads; the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa hold the legendary climbs (Tourmalet, Lagos de Covadonga, Angliru); gravel races have multiplied across Castilla-La Mancha and Catalunya. Long days, cheap accommodation, mountains everywhere.
