In 2010 three Spanish cities are commemorating their Jubilee

In 2010 three Spanish cities are commemorating their Jubilee; Caravaca de la
Cruz, Murcia, Potes, Cantabria, and Santiago de Compostela, Galicia and to
celebrate, thirty sports cars will be travelling the 1429 km between the three
cities on a regulation rally starting on Sunday June 6 in Caravaca de la Cruz.
The first Holy Places Rally celebrates the fact that of the five cities in the
world who have the privilege of holding permanent Jubilees, three are in Spain
and these cities will for the first time be linked through this initiative.
About thirty vehicles, including several exclusive models, along with ten
support vehicles will be there for the drive across the peninsula from South to
North and from East to West.
The Rally takes place over six days, with six stages and departed from Caravaca
de la Cruz (Murcia) on June 5 and finishing in Santiago de Compostela on Friday
June 11. The trip will take them through the Monastery Santo Toribio de Liebana,
located in the town of Potes (Cantabria) on June 9.
This unique journey has never been done ever before, and coincides with the
Jubilee Year of Caravaca de la Cruz and Santiago de Compostela, a coincidence
that will not recur for another hundred years! Several drivers are members of
the Order of Knights and Ladies of the Camino de Santiago and Brotherhood of the
Royal and Illustrious Brotherhood of the Holy and Vera Cruz de Caravaca de la
Cruz.
