Saab owner's rally and classic car show in Santiago de Compostela

[jlrSAAB]

On Saturday, February 19th, Saab owners from (Club SAAB España) will be meeting in the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain.
That city is the end of a historic pilgrimage route that many Christians follow. The Saab rally starts at 10 a.m. at the Hotel Puerta del Camino in Santiago. There will be a breakfast and also a briefing. The rally will continue to Costa da Morte. After a break, it will eventually head back to Santiago where tasty Galician stew will be served for lunch. 150 km of driving is planned so full fuel tanks at the start, please! The cost is €30, including meals and entrance fees. The deadline for registration is February 11th!

That's not all. This program also includes admission to the Retro Auto show later that day.

The Retro Auto Galacia is an exhibition of classic cars and motorcycles. Cars older than 1986 will be displayed (older than 1995 for certain makes such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lotus, etc.). Thanks to the Escaravello Club de Galicia, nearly 50 classic Volkwagens will be displayed.

Saab has a special role in the Retro Auto Galacia. There will be at least 13 Saabs displayed in Hall 1 on February 19th only. Cars displayed will include
a green Saab 92 (of course, Saab's first cars were all green), a 1957 Saab 93B, 1966 Saab 95 (wagon), 1968 Saab Sonett II, and 1972 Saab 99EMS.

classic cars have more personality than nowadays the new ones. (Rubén Fidalgo)
classic cars were more inspired by the design of the SAAB brand, but the new models are designed according to standards and specifications of car-makers; in terms of pedestrian safety (bumpers less harmful), aerodynamics, and so on...this makes the cars are similar but not with the personality of the classics.
See the report:



the great success of the concentration was guaranteed by the assistance of the older members of the club saab Spain, and also for the new members of the club, as you can see in the photos.
