Dozens of Morgan cars, from 1970s models to new factory-built vehicles, are expected in Granada for the Rally Morgan, a four-day event scheduled for October 1 to 4, 2026. The convoy will cross the province’s best-known landscapes and villages.
Cristina Jiménez Macías and Jesús López Vega, both from the Morgan Sports Car Club España, are organizing the event. They want the rally to showcase Granada’s culture and history, with local food also part of the experience. Prensa Motor reports that Spain’s calendar for classic car events is packed in late September and early October 2026, placing the rally’s timing and format alongside other events.
One stage will take drivers through the sharp bends of the Alpujarra and the Contraviesa, continuing toward the Costa Tropical. Stops are planned in Lanjarón and Órgiva, with Haza del Lino and Murtas also on the itinerary. At Bodega Cuatro Vientos, the group will taste local wines. One bottle stands out: ‘malafollá’, a playful nod to Granada’s dry sense of humor. Public event calendars do not confirm the exact route or the bodega’s role.
The next day, the rally will head to Poniente Granadino, with Montefrío as a highlight, before the convoy crosses the Vega de Granada. Local towns are also getting involved: the Ayuntamiento de Láchar plans to open its castle to the group, while Santa Fe will let the Morgans park in Plaza de España, a rare welcome in the town center. Prensa Motor and Miclasico report that public records contain no official confirmation from Granada or Láchar; Santa Fe’s participation is also unconfirmed.
The Rally Morgan is a moving road trip, not a static car show. The organizers want drivers to experience the field through encounters with local people and old traditions, as well as admire the cars’ engines and style.
Interest in classic and specialty cars is rising across Spain. Recent coverage of the vintage car market shows more people are looking for these models. The Rally Morgan taps into this trend, bringing British cars to Andalusian roads, where local hospitality and scenery are part of the experience. The routes are demanding, and the views are part of the draw.
With cars from different decades crossing Granada’s varied terrain, the organizers aim to honor motoring history while presenting the province to enthusiasts seeking an authentic experience. Their focus extends beyond the display itself: the rally puts the cars on roads that show off Granada’s character. Some traditions endure without chasing trends. For Granada, this is a road event with a local point of view, and its appeal lies in the journey along less-traveled roads.
