O Gran Camiño (English: The Great Way), also known as Gran Camiño and the International Galician Tour, is a road cycling stage race held in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. The race is rated as a category 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour calendar.[1][2]
The race returns regular professional cycling to Galicia for the first time since the Tour of Galicia, which was last held as a professional event in 2000;[3][4] however, the two events are not related.[5] The inaugural edition of the event took place in late February 2022 and consisted of four stages.[2]
The name of the race draws inspiration from the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.[6]
