Granada will host the Rally Morgan from October 1 to 4, 2026, bringing together rare British cars from the 1970s to today. Participants will drive through historic villages, scenic routes, and taste local wines in a unique automotive event.
Granada’s roads will look different this October. Dozens of Morgan cars—some built in the 1970s, others fresh from the factory—are set to arrive for a four-day rally from October 1 to 4, 2026. These cars will not just pass through. They will carve a path across the province’s most famous landscapes and villages.
This rally is not your usual car meet. Cristina Jiménez Macías and Jesús López Vega, both from the Morgan Sports Car Club España, are behind the event. They want the rally to show off Granada’s culture, history, and food. Their plan is simple. Let the journey itself reveal the province’s spirit. Prensa Motor reports that Spain’s calendar for classic car events is packed in late September and early October 2026. That makes the rally’s timing and format fit right in.
Spain's classic car event calendar for autumn 2026 features numerous gatherings, highlighting the country's growing enthusiasm for vintage vehicles.
One stage will push drivers through the sharp bends of the Alpujarra, the Contraviesa, and the Costa Tropical. Stops are set for Lanjarón, Órgiva, Haza del Lino, and Murtas. 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. Still, Miclasico notes there is no outside confirmation yet for the exact route or the bodega’s role in public event calendars.
The next day, the rally heads to Poniente Granadino. Montefrío will be a highlight. The convoy will then cross the Vega de Granada. Local towns are getting involved. The Ayuntamiento de Láchar plans to open its castle for the group. Santa Fe will let the Morgans park in Plaza de España. That’s a rare welcome in the town center. But as of now, Prensa Motor and Miclasico both report that there is no official word from Granada, Láchar, or Santa Fe about their participation in public records.
This is not a static car show. The Rally Morgan is a moving road trip. The organizers want more than a display of engines and style. They want drivers to connect with the land, the people, and the old traditions. Only a journey like this can do that.
While the specific details of the Morgan rally in Granada remain at the level of an announcement, Spain's specialized calendars like Prensa Motor and Miclasico confirm a vibrant scene for classic car events in the region during this period, making such initiatives plausible and in line with national trends.
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. But it adds something local. British cars meet Andalusian roads, hospitality, and scenery. The routes are tough. The views are worth it.
By bringing together cars from different decades and sending them across Granada’s varied terrain, the organizers are doing more than honoring car history. They are showing that Granada is a place for people who want the real thing, not just a show. The Rally Morgan proves it. Some traditions last because they do not follow trends. For Granada, this is more than a parade. It is a statement. The best stories are found on roads less traveled.
