The vintage cars and motorbikes will pass by the Columbus Monument for the first time to avoid the construction works on La Rambla.
Vehicles will gather in Plaça Sant Jaume on Sunday, April 6, starting at 9:00 a.m., and the start will take place at 10:30 a.m.
The caravan of the 67th Barcelona–Sitges International Vintage Car Rally will take a route different from the traditional one. On April 6, the participants will leave Plaça Sant Jaume towards Via Laietana via Jaume I Street, a change due to the renovation works on La Rambla, which currently has restricted traffic.
Thus, in this edition, the event will swap one of its most iconic images — the sidewalks of Ferran Street packed with spectators watching the historic cars and motorcycles — for a new and equally relevant image never seen in the 66 previous editions: driving past the Columbus Monument.
After passing the statue, the route connects to Avinguda Paral·lel, from Plaça de les Drassanes to Plaça Espanya.
From there, the itinerary follows its usual course along Gran Via, then Rambla Badal, the reference point for leaving Barcelona and connecting with the main towns of Baix Llobregat, beginning with Santa Eulàlia Street in L’Hospitalet and reaching Castelldefels Beach via the C-245. Around 12:00 p.m., they will reach the Garraf Coastal Road (C-31).
The C-31 will be closed to traffic during the Rally’s passage, with an expected arrival at the Sitges entrance roundabout at 12:30 p.m. From there, it follows last year’s route directly toward San Sebastián Beach, where a brief regrouping will take place before the parade through the streets of Sitges, ending at Plaça de la Fragata at 1:00 p.m.
Vehicles will remain on display under the church until around 5:30 p.m.
