Tips for following the Vuelta

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Hi, I am thinking about heading to the 2008 Vuelta and would like to get some tips and ideas on how to do this, details of following the tour etc. Are there any websites that people know of or anyone out there that has done this who can help with planning? I would like to so it independently with a few mates rather than join a commercial tour.

Any suggestions greatfully accepted!
