The Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈvɔɫta a la komuniˈtad valensiˈana]; English: Tour of the Valencian Community) was a road cycling stage race held in the Valencian Community (Comunitat Valenciana), Spain. Its position in the cycling calendar means it is often used as preparation for the spring classics or the grand tours which take place later in the season.
No editions of the race have been held since 2008 because of funding issues. An attempt to revive it for the 2010–11 UCI Europe Tour was unsuccessful.[1]
