Historic rally cars will return to the roads of the Costa del Sol with the Andalucía Festival Legend, which will take place from Thursday 26 to Saturday 28 November 2026.
The organisers have announced approximately 380 kilometres of route and 12 stages on closed roads, with an initial limit of 90 vehicles. Original cars and faithful replicas will bring together different generations of rally cars to celebrate the history of the sport.
Manilva’s involvement will bring a festive atmosphere to Castillo de la Duquesa, where the published route map shows an urban circuit running alongside the fortress and along the seafront promenade.
Starting near the northern side of the castle, the cars will follow a spiral route through the surrounding streets, passing recreational and sporting areas before continuing alongside the riverbank. The map also indicates a section for the second lap beside the castle and the entrance to the finish area.
Several spectator viewing areas are positioned around the circuit, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to watch these historic cars against the backdrop of the Mediterranean. A traffic restriction is marked at the northern entrance, so residents and visitors should check the latest traffic information before travelling.
According to an announcement published by Casares Town Council on 6 November, the route will run from the Costa del Sol Environmental Complex, passing Venta García before continuing towards the entrance to the village of Casares.
The council has indicated scheduled passage times of 16:30 and 18:00. It has also announced road closures affecting access to Casares via the MA-8300 and the Los Pedregales road between 15:00 and 21:00.
These restrictions will be relevant to residents, businesses and spectators alike. Anyone planning to travel in the area should take the restrictions into account and check for further updates from the Town Council.
Published event listings identify Marbella, Ojén, Casares, Manilva, Estepona, Jubrique and Genalguacil as locations on the wider itinerary. An urban stage in Marbella is also scheduled for Saturday 28 November. However, these listings do not provide a complete, verified chronological order for all 12 stages.
The festival’s appeal lies in seeing historic machinery brought back to life. Casares Town Council describes the event as a non-competitive exhibition, without the pressure of racing against the clock, bringing together vehicles that evoke memorable eras of motorsport.
Eligible categories include original models and replicas built up to 1996, as well as a “Road to Legend” category covering vehicles manufactured between 1997 and 2001. Modern vehicles may exceptionally be accepted in limited numbers. Eligibility of individual models should be checked against the final entry list.
Spectators should arrive before the roads are closed, use authorised viewing areas and follow the instructions of event marshals throughout the event.
