Hi, I have planned a route from Santaillia del Mar to to Nocedia via the Picos N621 and have just realised that the La Veulta is on part of the route from La Hermida to Potes on the same day.

Does anyone know when they start closing the roads, hours before or a day before like the TDF? A google search has found nothing so far.
 
It's pretty much the one of the last main days but doubt other than the summit finish the road closures will be rolling.
 
I accidentally stumbled accross La Veulta a couple of years ago on Estepona. On that occasion the roads closed about 20min before they arrived and reopened in a similar time once the brigade were through. Hope it helps and enjoy your trip. I'm just finishing a stint in Spain. It's been great.

Thanks Gents for the replies, I was hoping it would be a rolling type closure, we will be well out of the way by the time they get to our crossed path.
 
The road that they are taking from Puentenhansa to La Hermida is one of my favourite m'biking roads. Road it many a time in Oct'16.
- I shall watch the Vuelta highlights with interest
 
On the last Saturday, 8th, they are finishes up the Angilru, apparently the toughest climb in pro cycling history apparently.

Passed by there recently but couldn't go up for the low cloud, quite common in that area. Well worth a look through inland Asturias though, a bit off the beaten (biker) path

Interested in which road you thought was the best. Can you let me know?
