However, due to farmers protests in the region, the race was shortened to a single 5 kilometer time trial, as the race organizers could not guarantee the safety of the race. The race was rated as a category 2.Pro event on the 2024 UCI ProSeries calendar, and will be the 70th edition of the Vuelta a Andalucía.
