Clásica de San Sebastián is famous for its spectacular views of the coastline and its winding, undulating terrain which strongly favours aggressive riding. The current race route is approximately 227 kilometres in length and includes the tough Alto de Jaizkibel climb at around the 200 kilometre mark. This is usually the decisive point of the race. Until 2004, it was the seventh round of the UCI Road World Cup, but it now forms part of the UCI ProTour and the UCI World Ranking.
