Sitges Car Rally Dates 2026
From: Saturday, February 28, 2026
To: Sunday, March 1, 2026
Cars arrive at the port on Sunday by 1pm.
The Barcelona to Sitges Vintage Car Rally takes place annually in March. Cars from the pre-1920’s compete in one of the most glamorous races in Catalunya along the coast road to Sitges.
In 1959, the Barcelona-Sitges International Vintage Car Rally was born under the stewardship of some forward thinking Sitgeans.
- Book a front-facing sea-view room at the Hotel Calipolis for some of the best views of the cars passing by, and just a 2-minute walk to the car viewing area by the church.
The Cars
- Next Edition: Saturday, February 28th, 2026 (in Barcelona) to March 1, 2026 (Sitges).
- The entry conditions for the rally are simple; your car must be privately owned and must not have been produced after 1924.
- There are prizes for the best car based on its condition and also for the most authentic costume.
- Sitges Car Rally typically marks the start of the Spring Season and is recognised as a “Fiesta of National Tourist Interest”.
- The event fills the town with many staying over the weekend to mark the arrival of Spring. All of the bars are open. Seafront Hotels fill fast.
The Route
- Route changes each year, however the event leaves from Barcelona on Sunday morning and makes its way via the coastal road through to Sitges, arriving at La Fragata by early afternoon.
- If you’re after a dramatic coastal section, pick a vantage on the C-31 (Les Costes del Garraf) just before arrival in Sitges. The winding road along the sea makes for stunning views of the vintage cars.
- Arrive early in Barcelona (by 9:00 am at Plaça de Sant Jaume) if you’d like to catch the assembly of cars before they depart.
