For its 70th edition and the celebration of the 80th anniversary, Marbella Unique Properties is pleased to announce that ‘La Vuelta Ciclista España 2015‘ will begin this Saturday, 22 August starting in Puerto Banus.
During the event organization 2015 of ‘Costa del Sol-Madrid’, Marbella agencies began to focus on making our city the key focus of the competition, so to be able to use the beautiful renovated promenade by the races 80th anniversary. For cycling fans the scenery and selection of picturesque areas with unparalleled viewpoints will give viewers an idea of Marbellas lifestyle. Despite the difficulties and problems generated, the cyclists route along the promenade will pass through Marbellas Golden Mile reaching Marbellas “Puerto Deportivo” where one will be able to enjoy the sea, sand and the best climate that boosts the unbeatable qualities of this city.
From Friday 21 August, the cyclists routs will begin to be defined and will change, for a short time only, the roaring sound of the luxury cars in Puerto Banus to the sound of bicycle chains and swish of the riders passing by in one of the most famous European Cycling competitions followed by millions of viewers in countries such as France, Italy and Holland. All this helps the media boost our luxurious city, which comes at the perfect time for Marbella as we are experiencing a rise in the sale and rental of Marbella properties. The lovely sunshine and climate along with our cuisine are not the only reasons for choosing Marbella. Marbella offers many options when talking sports, extremely well known for golf and paddle tennis (with part of their history rooted in Marbella). The Costa del Sol is well prepared with full infrastructure to be able to receive such premier sporting events, one may be recalled such events: In tennis the ‘Davis Cup’ held in Puerto Banus in 2009, the Athletics and Water Polo Championships, the “Copa del Rey de Baloncesto” basketball championship or simply by taking note why some of the top-level teams choose Marbella for their pre-season preparation (Bayern Munich, Rotterdam or Fyenoord Russian Anzhi amongst others).
The expectation is high, an average of 200,000 fans is calculated to be positioned along the entire route, which may help understand the importance of this event. Javier Guillén (Director of the Tour) enlisted the help of Luis Angel Maté (Professional Cyclist and citizen of Marbella) to development the course which will be one of the most unique for the cycling season as they have at least four different surfaces the cyclists will ride on. Including concrete, asphalt, sand and marble, which will result in a very technical rout that will show the importance on the good preparation of the teams, which is more than meets the eye at a first glance. There may be the use of a fifth material of wood upon reaching the end stage goal, which will be located on the beach of Marbellas Puerto Deportivo. As J. Guillen is quoted to have said “the start of the race” will be the jewel in the crown for the “Vuelta España 2015”. It begins on Puerto Banus’s pier next to the Lighthouse (this was extremely difficult to co-ordinate due to the pier being privately owned and some of the other areas were equally complicated for various reasons). Cycling teams will arrive by boat, which will without doubt one of the most beautiful entrances to such an event surrounded by the most luxurious and exclusive white yachts and magic that is Puerto Banus, along with the blue sea and sky… One of Marbellas infamous images!
The teams will ride down the pier arriving at a 90 ° bend that leads to the asphalt areas. Continuing onto 3 kilometres of sand linking to 1 kilometre of marble (where Marbella proudly keeps L.A. Maté with a beautiful plaque in his honour). The teams will be timed throughout the rout travelling a total distance of 7.4 kilometres, from Port to Port, along Marbellas Golden Mile.
Frontline beach apartment owners or holiday makers will have a spectacular and privileged view of the event, in addition to the beautiful sea views that the properties already enjoy. They will be able to enjoy all the excitement right on their doorstep.
