It started and finished in San Sebastián, in the Basque Country, Spain.

The race covered 234 km (145.4 mi), mainly to the south and east of the city, and entirely within the province of Guipúzcoa.

Three additional wildcard invitations were given to form the event's 21-team peloton.

[1] The route is an anticlockwise loop, heading southwest from San Sebastián, reaching its highest point, and its farthest from the city at the Alto de Udana (574 m).

It then heads back towards the southern suburbs of the start town, before heading east through the Jaizkibel mountains to Hondarribia on the French border, and then back to San Sebastián.
