Well, the Tour of Spain, which is the Vuelta De Espana, is on par with the Tour De France and the Giro Di Italia.

I would review the Operation Puerco, considering it nabbed most of the biggest Spanish rides as well.

Finally, I would look at cyclingnews.com, which is an eurocentric road racing site.
