Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos

Spain's biggest Gran Fondo

Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos 2019

Saturday June 22, 2019

Duration: 3 nights Distance: 205km

The Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos or “la Quebranta” or the ‘Bone Breaker’, as this event is commonly called is Spain’s most popular Cyclo-Sportive. You will not get an entry for this event as it sells out within hours each year but we have guaranteed entries available with a hotel in Jaca near the start and finish. The event takes place on Saturday the 22nd of June 2019 in the Spanish and French Pyrenees. Spain’s largest Cyclo-Sportive starts and finishes in Sabiñánigo.

DETAILS
The Gran Fondo Quabrantahuesos is Spain’s largest Cyclosportive and the best Cyclosportive that you have never heard of – a must-do event! As this event passes through spectacular protected areas of natural beauty and for the participant’s safety, the number of cyclists is limited to a relatively small field. For this reason and given the high demand to enter, there is a lottery and the event is vastly over-subscribed so is extremely difficult to get into so that’s where Sports Tours International come in. We provide travel packages with guaranteed entries, a 2 or 3 nights stay at a hotel near the start and finish, airport transfers from Zaragoza airport and the services of our experienced host and mechanic.

IMPORTANT INFO

Passport validity in case of a ‘No Deal Brexit’

Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay; you do not need any additional period of validity on your passport beyond this. If the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the rules for travel to most countries in Europe are expected to change. If your adult passport was issued over 9 years ago, you may be affected. You should use this tool to check your passport is still valid for your trip before booking travel. Adult and child passports should have at least 6 months’ validity remaining on your date of travel. If you renewed your passport early, extra months would have been added to your new passport. Any extra months on an adult passport will not count towards the validity requirement, so some passport holders will need to have more than 6 months remaining in order to travel.
