On the occasion of the World Year of Physics, which commemorated the centenary of the publication of several major papers by Einstein and the birth of the Theory of Relativity, this edition of the "Spanish Relativity Meeting" is endeavored to cover as many aspects as possible of the foundations, applications and future vistas of this branch of modern physics. Topics included are: foundations of special and general relativity, observational tests, relativistic astrophysics, gravitational waves, numerical relativity, cosmology, early universe, dark matter, exact solutions of Einstein equations, black holes, quantum gravity, string theory, discrete space-time, non-commutative geometry, relativistic statistical and nuclear physics, compact stars, and historical and philosophical perspectives.
