Synopsis

Every year, cyclists take to the streets of Spain for La Vuelta, a multi-stage race with legs occurring all over the country. On the day of his brother's wedding, Pepe Benengeli is set to compete in a part of the competition that passes through his hometown in the scorchingly hot region of Andalusia. With intense pressure from the other competitors and the blazing heat of the sun, Pepe must dig deep if he is going to snag victory on his home turf.

Summer in Andalusia is a Madhouse movie from 2003 based off a cycling manga called Nasu. It’s about a guy from Andalusia in southern Spain who is participating in the big cycling race that goes through his hometown.

The movie has three main goals: Sell you on cycling as a sport, sell you on Andalusia as a place, and connect the two together into the main character’s story. ...

This is a fairly short movie about a guy in a cycling race.

While some may select a certain genre for the specific topic and perhaps nothing else, it's usually what is in between that defines the rest.

As such, I suppose this isn't absolutely great as an 'introduction'... to professional cycling, sure, even those new to it could catch up with some terminology (it's about five words ...

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a high-intensity race, be it in a car, bike, or even mecha suit. Youthful passion and energy fuel these shows about drivers, pilots and athletes all striving for that #1 spot. As Ricky Bobby once famously said, "If you ain't first, you're last".
