Event location

The II City of Segovia Trophy will take place in the following locations.

Segovia

Segovia, a city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, combines an extraordinary historical legacy with a privileged natural environment. Located next to Sierra de Guadarrama, it is internationally known for its impressive Roman Aqueduct, its majestic Alcázar and its magnificent Cathedral, which dominate a historic center full of streets, squares and corners with centuries of history.

The Segovia City Race will offer participants the opportunity to discover two very different facets of this territory. E1 will be held in a forest environment near the city center, with the first medium-distance stage that will test the technical and physical capacity of the runners. E3 will move the competition to the heart of Segovia, where a long urban distance will run through emblematic monuments, historic alleys, staircases and monumental squares, offering a unique orienteering experience in one of the most beautiful cities in Spain.

History, heritage, nature and sport come together to create an unforgettable event for all participants.

La Granja de San Ildefonso

La Granja de San Ildefonso is part of the Royal Site of San Ildefonso, a municipality founded around the old medieval monastery of San Ildefonso. The area acquired its current identity when Philip V decided to build his retirement palace here from 1720–1721, inspired by the landscapes of his French childhood.

The Royal Palace of La Granja is a jewel of European Baroque, surrounded by Versailles gardens designed by French architects. Its spectacular monumental fountains—such as the Fountain of Fame, the Fountain of the Frogs or the Horse Race— work thanks to an ingenious hydraulic system fed by the «Mar de la Granja», a historic reservoir.
