For the first time in a decade, the race started in the region of Galicia, at Vigo, home to Óscar Pereiro, with a flat stage. It was also an unusual Vuelta because the first summit finish came already on the fourth day of racing, with a stage ending atop the famed Lagos de Covadonga. The race was won by Denis Menchov, who also won the Mountains competition and the combined classification, and finished second in the points competition.

Leonardo Piepoli wore white jersey on stages 5–8 and stage 11 Vladimir Efimkin wore white jersey on stages 9–10, 12–13, 16-18 Leonardo Piepoli led the KoM classification after stage 11 and should have worn the appropriate jersey on stage 12, but withdrew before its start; therefore, Serafín Martínez wore the mountains jersey on stages 12–14 Cadel Evans wore white jersey on stages 14–15 Jurgen Van Goolen wore the mountains jersey on stage 15 and on stages 19–21 Final standings General classification thumb|Denis Menchov in the Golden Jersey.
