The course for the Vuelta a Espana will be unveiled on January 10 but now AS is able to publish a raw draft of the route. With two time trials and nine or ten summit finishes, the race is set to have a very traditional format.

The 2015 Vuelta a Espana will start start in Puerto Banus on August 22 and will finish in Madrid on September 13. According to a report in AS, the route will have nine or ten summit finishes. The organization plans to host a new finale to celebrate the 80th birthday and the 70th edition of the race.

All the details of the course which is yet to be finalized, were not revealed by the Spanish newspaper. The official presentation takes place on January 10 in Torremolinos. However, AS is ready to make a raw draft of the course for the race. It will visit nine regions (with another one or two to potentially be added): Andalusia, Valencia, Catalonia, Aragon, the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, Castilla y Leon and Madrid. As a novelty, the Principality of Andorra have a stage that will be held entirely on its territory.

The Vuelta will start with a time trial which will start from the promenade of Puerto Banus but it is still uncertain whether it will be a team or an individual time trial. The race will visit all Andalusian provinces except Huelva and Almería and will move to Granada and Levante, maybe passing Murcia along the way. Alicante (with a summit finish), Valencia and Castellón will be visited andin the first week there will be four or five days with uphill finishes, with a couple of typical short, steep ramps.

After a move from Valencia to Andorra, the Pyrenean country will host a rest day, one of the queen stages (with the Gallina climb along the way and a likely finish on the Cortals climb) and a start of a stage that will end in Catalonia. The race will then pass through Aragon and the Basque Country which was last visited in 2012. The organizers are negotiating with Vitoria about a possible start of a stage that will end in Cantabria on the new climb of La Fuente del Chivo. Asturias will offer two days in the high mountains and in the third week the riders will tackle an individual time trial of 35 to 40 km.

Along with the stages in Andorra and Asturias, organizers Unipublic want another queen stage in the mountains of Madrid. The Vuelta returns to the capital and will end with a women's race like the La Course by the Tour de France and a night podium ceremony like the one in Santiago in 2014. With two time trials and nine or ten summit finishes, the Vuelta will follow its traditional format.
