Sitges Tourism

The International Vintage Car Rally Barcelona -Sitges 2024 will once again bring together more than 100 classic vehicles.

The International Vintage Car Rally Barcelona-Sitges celebrates this weekend, 6 and 7 April, its 66th edition and will feature a total of 93 vehicles, of which 11 are motorbikes, one of the highest numbers in recent years.

The event includes the traditional caravan of historic vehicles on Sunday, the 7th, with drivers and accompanying persons dressed in period-style clothing. New for 2024, a dozen or so Porsche cars will also be competing in addition to the century-old cars. In addition, for the first time, two 100% electric Porsche Taycan cars will be on hand to control the rally.

The 82 participating cars were built between 1901 and 1928, and the motorbikes up to 1938. The public will be able to see models from well-known brands such as Citroën, Ford and Rolls-Royce up close, along with other now defunct manufacturers such as Amilcar, Panhard Levassor and Darracq.

The participating vehicles will set off at half past eleven in the morning from the Plaça de Sant Jaume in Barcelona, crossing several towns and the mythical stretch of the Costas de Garraf towards Sitges. After parading through several streets of the town, they are expected to arrive at the Fragata at around half past twelve in the afternoon.
