The 52nd Rallye Orvecame Isla Tenerife Histórico takes place on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October 2026, with Puerto de la Cruz as its base.

Visitors can see the atmosphere around the cars in town, while the competitive sections take place on roads across northern Tenerife. The first car is scheduled to start on Friday at 18:00 and reach the finish podium at Plaza del Charco on Saturday at 17:10.

Historic Motorsport in Puerto de la Cruz
Puerto de la Cruz welcomes the crews and cars for the final round of the 2026 Spanish Historic Rally Championship. The official entry lists now include 75 teams: 44 in Speed and 31 in Regularity. Pablo Rey and Ramón Martínez head the Speed list, bringing a Peugeot 106 Kit Car and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI respectively. You can enjoy the rally atmosphere around the town’s central facilities without travelling to a roadside stage.
The route now totals 308.540 km, of which 101.010 km are timed. Roadworks led the organiser to shorten Friday’s Medianías–Chasna section and divide one of Saturday’s original sections into two. This gives the rally ten timed sections instead of the eight shown in the first announcement.
Revised Route and Timetable: 23–24 October
These are the scheduled first-car times in Rallyten’s revised itinerary. They are not spectator access or road-closure times.
Friday 23 October
The first car starts from Puerto de la Cruz at 18:00. Medianías–Chasna is run twice at 19:03 and 21:26. Each run is now 11.614 km, ending on the TF-326 before the Chasna junction.
Saturday 24 October
The first car starts the second day from Puerto de la Cruz at 08:30. Four sections are each run twice:
| Timed section | Length | First run | Second run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medianías–Palo Blanco | 11.151 km | 09:18 | 13:52 |
| El Lagar–Montefrío | 8.361 km | 10:11 | 14:45 |
| La Guancha–Llanito Perera | 6.750 km | 10:31 | 15:08 |
| El Tanque–Drago Icod | 12.629 km | 11:19 | 15:56 |
The former El Lagar–Llanito Perera section has been divided into El Lagar–Montefrío and La Guancha–Llanito Perera. The first car is scheduled to reach the Plaza del Charco finish podium at 17:10, followed by the trophy presentation at 17:30.
Where to See the Rally in Puerto de la Cruz
The Explanada del Muelle is the service park and parc fermé. Pre-event technical checks are scheduled around the Casa de la Aduana. The rally office is at the Gran Hotel Taoro. These are separate locations, so allow time to walk between them.
The finish podium and trophy presentation are scheduled for Plaza del Charco on Saturday afternoon. The first-car times describe the rally itinerary; arrive earlier if you want to find a suitable place to watch the arrivals.
Information for Spectators
For a town-centre visit, the service area and Saturday finish offer ways to experience the rally without heading into the mountains. If you want to watch a timed section, use Rallyten’s spectator information and revised itinerary to choose your location and check access before travelling. Roads may close well before the first car; follow marshals and stay within permitted viewing areas.
An optional shakedown for registered speed competitors is listed for Friday on the San José–Mirador de Mazapé road in San Juan de la Rambla. It is a competitor session, so check the organiser’s notices for its final arrangements and any public viewing guidance.
Planning a Visit
If you mainly want to see the cars and enjoy the atmosphere, base yourself around the port and Plaza del Charco. Friday’s activity continues into the evening, while Saturday’s first finishers are expected in the late afternoon. For a timed roadside section, plan around its road closures and the organiser’s designated viewing advice, not just the first-car start time.
Staying in central Puerto de la Cruz makes it easy to walk between the port and Plaza del Charco. Our where to stay guide compares the main areas.
