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.

8/10 will not recommend.

What a fantastic movie. This is exactly what I was craving in Yowamushi Pedal Season 2. There's no need to create superpower artificial emotion since the sport by nature is such a rollercoaster of hope, despair, and fortunes that change within seconds. Road bike racing is such a dramatic event because so many people are vying for victory, bargaining back and forth in game theory. It doesn't take much to explain these transactions and how they can conform to the strengths of each rider and team. This movie is easily able to introduce the riders Bezal, Zamenhoff, Ciocci, Benengeli, and Gilmore as ...

Summer in Andalusia is a Madhouse movie from 2003 based off a cycling manga called Nasu.

Well, I’d say most of the movie was boring. I tried getting into it, but since I didn’t really understand it at all, I was just kinda waiting for it to end and nothing more.


I know people are gonna somehow say that this, was of course, actually very good, and that it taught them about the sport. But if you really wanna know, it was just guys ...

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".
