The Clásica Jaén is a one day road race in Spain, first held in 2022 and raced in the province of Jaén. It is often described as a Spanish take on Strade Bianche because the route includes multiple gravel sectors that can split the peloton and reward strong all rounders. The race is part of the UCI Europe Tour and is classified as a 1.1 event.
