O Gran Camiño 2025: The Route

O Gran Camiño 2025 As always in its short history, O Gran Camiño serves up a mountainous route. The race kicks off on Wednesday, 26 February, in Portugal, before finishing on Sunday, 2 March, in the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela. An ITT is scheduled on Friday, while the Queen Stage takes place on Saturday.

For the first time in its four years of existence, O Gran Camiño ventures outside Galicia for an international outing. The 1st stage takes the riders to northern Portugal on a 190.6-kilometre route with 1,900 metres of elevation gain. Two climbs line the route: Alto de Feitos and Monte de São Félix.

Stage 2 is a 144.8-kilometre journey with over 2,500 metres of elevation gain. The Alto de San Antoniño is the first of three big climbs before the Alto de San Vicenzo is tackled twice.

The ITT on the third day starts at the Roman Bridge in Ourense and finishes 15.5 kilometres later in Pereiro de Aguiar. Midway through the route, the riders face the Alto de Sabadelle.

Saturday’s Queen Stage spans 142 kilometres and features 3,121 metres of climbing. The riders must conquer four climbs: Alto de Campo do Arbe, Alto de Catro Ventos, A Pitinidoira, and the final haul up to O Cebreiro.

The final stage starts in the coastal town of Betanzos and finishes in Santiago de Compostela. The route covers 165.3 kilometres with 2,800 metres of elevation gain. The Alto de Lampai is tackled twice, as is the climb to O Milladoiro, which is spiced up by three gravel sections. The last pass through O Milladoiro comes with 5 kilometres to go.
