Sitges Classic Car Rally 2025 from Barcelona Plaça Jaime I

About Barcelona Sitges Classic Car rally 2025

The first edition of the Rally was held on 8 February 1959 and contained twenty cars with the number of participating cars increasing substantially since then. At the time of the first event the route took the only road to Sitges which is now what is known as the C31 which from Castelldefels follows in parts a cliff top road with curves that snake along the coast before arriving at the Aiguadolç area of Sitges to head into the centre of town.

The cars are from the 1920s and 1930s period with all drivers and passengers dressed in period costumes from the time of manufacture of their vehicles. Originally the event was conceived as a sporting event with all vehicles having to maintain a timed speed on the uphill and downhill sections of the coastal road. Nowadays it is just for fun.

At the end of the rally the vehicles park up in Passeig de la Ribera in Sitges in front of the Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla church for the spectators to admire the vehicles and costumed drivers and passengers.
