The International Vintage Car Rally Barcelona-Sitges

The International Vintage Car Rally Barcelona-Sitges, which this year reaches its 65th edition, began in 1959. It is planned as a race although, of course, the important thing is to participate and aesthetics is valued more than speed: both the driver and the occupants must wear period costumes. Vintage cars from emblematic brands such as Rolls Royce, Hispano-Suiza, Citroën, Ford, Fiat, Renault, Peugeot, Buick, Chevrolet or Alcyon will drive through the streets of Barcelona towards Sitges.

The rally starts in the Plaza de Sant Jaume in Barcelona and continues through the streets of Barcelona, Hospitalet de Llobregat, Cornellà de Llobregat, C-245 road, C-246 road (Costas del Garraf) and ends with a parade through the streets of Sitges and a contest of elegance. The total route is 40 kilometers and the participants come from all over Spain and other countries. But the rally is not just the race, other parallel activities are also organized.
