The Clásica de Almería (English: Classic of Almería) is a single-day road bicycle race held annually in February or March in Almería, Spain, starting and finishing in Almería itself.[1] Established in 1986, the race was run as an amateur event in its first six years. In 1992, it became fully professional.[2] From 2005, the race was organised as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour,[2] and became part of the new UCI ProSeries in 2020 as a 1.Pro event.[3]
