Volta Ciclista a Castelló 2018 

The Castellón Provincial Council is lending its support to the Volta Ciclista a Castelló 2018 stage race, the thirty-sixth edition of which will take place in the province from June 7 to 10. This upcoming edition will once again see this emblematic cycling event take its place as one of the province’s main sport tourism references: the event is responsible for more than 1200 bed nights and generates a direct economic impact of more 150,000 euros in the province’s municipalities.

The Chair of the Castellón Provincial Council, Javier Moliner, has signed a collaboration agreement with the Chair of the SEPELACO Cycling Club and race director, José Cabedo. The agreement includes a contribution of 40,000 euros from the Provincial Council to the race.

“The event’s history clearly demonstrates, on the one hand, the quality of the race organization and, on the other, the economic and tourist impact generated within the province by sporting events such as this. Since its beginnings, this stage race has been an excellent showcase for Castellón’s tourism sector, as well as serving to revitalize the activities of many businesses operating in the municipalities included on its route”, said the Chair.

Castellón Escenario Deportivo

This collaboration forms part of the Provincial Council’s support to sport as a catalyst for the provincial economy, which it carries out through the “Castellón Escenario Deportivo” project.

“The Volta Ciclista a Castelló once again demonstrates that our province is the best possible setting for the practice of cycling. We only have to take a look at our roads, both on the coast and in the interior, and especially on the weekends, to see that this is true.”

19 domestic and international under-23 teams will participate in this year’s edition of the race, which will be split over four stages: Benicàssim-Benicàssim, Onda-Alqueries, Grao de Castellón-Vistabella, and Castellón-Castellón.
