​Sotogrande gears up for first edition of classic car rally

While there is hardly a shortage of great reasons to rent holiday apartments in Sotogrande, yet another one has become apparent, and residents of this exclusive area of the Costa del Sol will soon be able to start enjoying it. We are referring to a very special event called the Sotogrande Grand Prix that is set to take place from Wednesday 24^th May to Sunday 28^th May.

The automobile elite are coming to southern Spain

The five days will see a huge classic and luxury car rally held, travelling from Seville to Sotogrande and also encompassing exhibitions, sales and displays of an eclectic selection of elegant classic cars and premium marques.

Cars registered between 1920 and 1965 are set to roar into Sotogrande itself from the 26^th, when the destination will become home to a luxury sale, Concours d’Elegance parade and speed trials, among many other exciting events. The cars will arrive in the marina from 4:30pm, at the same time as GT cars participating in another rally travel along a different route.

An event that will highlight the “beauty of Spain”

The decision to hold the event follows the success of the Zoute Grand Prix in Knokke-le-Zoute, Belgium, with co-organiser Philippe van de Ryse quoted as saying by Billionaire.com: “As a destination, Knokke-le-Zoute is about art, access to the beach, restaurants and great retail.

“By comparison, Sotogrande will be about the beauty of Spain, including stops in palaces in Seville and Cordoba, and its international character, blending influences from Morocco all the way to Argentina.”

The full scheduled route – covering some 300 kilometres each day – is set to take in some of Andalucía’s most jaw-dropping scenery, including the famous Flying Quarter Mile over Sotogrande’s historic bridge above the Guadiaro river.
