Barcelona-Sitges International Rally 2018<\/h1>\n

In weeks time, Sitges will celebrate as every year one of its most emblematic events, the 60th edition of the Barcelona-Sitges International Car Rally will be commemorated next weekend (3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> of March).<\/h2>\n

This rally took place for the first time in 1959 doing practically the same route as today, starting from the Plaza St. Jaume in Barcelona and parading down the well known Carretera de las Costas del Garraf to arrive at the Fragata square of Sitges, park and let the spectators contemplate the delicate and meticulously maintained vintage cars.<\/p>\n

From the first edition the main condition was that participants had to dress according to the time in which the vehicle they drove was built, that’s still maintained today and it’s fabulous to see whole families dressed accordingly, very elegant indeed! The amazing cars are produced until 1928 and the motorbikes until 1938; when the prizes are given, it is fundamentally valued how they have been cared for over the years and the number of original pieces that they kept. Seeing the drivers and companions dressed in period is impressive,\u00a0the role they play combined with the vehicles they drive transports you back to the early 20th century atmosphere, absolutely stunning!<\/p>\n

An event that stands out for its uniqueness and in which you can continue to appreciate works of art thanks to the enthusiasm and commitment of the participants. Don\u2019t miss it!<\/a><\/p>\n
