The Catalan Cycling Week (Setmana Catalana de Ciclisme in Catalan) was a multi-stageroad bicycle race held in Catalonia, Spain.[1] Held annually from 1963 until 2005, it was run as a 2.HC race on the UCI Europe Tour in the second half of March. The Setmana Catalana was discontinued in 2006 due to financial problems and is no longer on the UCI Calendar. Since 2010, the Volta a Catalunya, Catalonia's oldest existing cycling race, was moved to the calendar slot formerly held by the Setmana Catalana in late March.[2]
