Classics have a date in Purchena once again. On Sunday 8 November, Avenida Almanzora will host the 3rd Concentración de Motos y Vehículos Clásicos Ciudad de Purchena (City of Purchena Classic Motorbike and Vehicle Meet), open to cars and motorbikes more than 30 years old which, as well as being on display, will head out on a route through several villages in the district.
It is organised by the Vehículos Clásicos Ciudad de Purchena association and the town council, according to the poster and the event’s listing on Turismo Almanzora, updated this Monday. Its motto sums it up well: “Passion that moves us, history that unites us”.
Programme
- From 9:30 to 11:30: registration on Avenida Almanzora.
- 12:30: route through Purchena, Urrácal, Somontín, the Balsa de Cela, Tíjola and Suflí.
- 14:30: giant paella, trophy presentation, raffles and prize draws.
How to sign up
Motorbikes and cars more than 30 years old can take part, as long as their insurance and ITV (Spain’s vehicle roadworthiness test) are up to date. Capacity is limited to 100 vehicles, so it is best not to leave it until the last day.
- Price: €15 per driver and €5 per companion, paella included.
- Bookings: by WhatsApp only, on 722 272 948 (Francisco Javier).
Beyond the engines, the route is a good excuse to be seen in some of the smallest villages in the Almanzora, such as Urrácal, Somontín or Suflí, and the day ends the way good get-togethers in the district end: around a paella.
If you have a classic tucked away in the garage, you know what to do: start giving it a shine.
