The Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association is holding its 10th Anniversary Rally this weekend. On Saturday they will be driving through Gibraltar with a police escort, and on Sunday, they venture out to Castellar and up through Jimena to Colmenar (Gaucin station). The rally will also include several vehicles of their counterparts in Andalucia, who last week came up into the sierra to celebrate their own anniversary. The annual 'season' begins for classic car enthusiasts and for the rest of us, who can admire these wonderful machines, carefully maintained, polished up and still ready to go. It is truly a sight to behold, as many people do along the many routes they take throughout the countryside. Click on Read more below for the full programme.
