Route and stages
Covering a total of 3,489 km (2,168 mi), it included three individual time trials, and thirteen stages with categorized climbs that awarded mountains classification points.[7][8] Two of these thirteen stages had summit finishes: stage 7, to Rassos de Peguera; and stage 12, to Lagos de Enol.[8] Another stage with a mountain-top finish was stage 14, which consisted of a climbing time trial to Monte Narasco.[8] The organizers chose to include no rest days. When compared to the previous year's race, the race was 91 km (57 mi) longer and contained the same amount of time trials, stages, and rest days.

Classification leadership
Three different jerseys were worn during the 1984 Vuelta a España. The leader of the
For the points classification, which awarded a light blue jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The leader of the mountains classification wore a green jersey.
Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time.
The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run.
