Segorbe is the capital of the Alto Palancia region, located just 5 km from Navajas. It is a millenary city, episcopal, royal, stately and ducal, which offers us the possibility to walk through its old town, declared of Cultural Interest, and visit its different museums: Museum ‘In Memoriam’, Interpretation Centre of the Entrance of Bulls and Horses, Medieval Towers, Oil Museum, Archaeology and Ethnology Museum, Crypts of the Cathedral and Cathedral Museum, which together with the Aqueduct, the Medieval Wall and the Hill of Sopeña form a visit of great cultural value.
In this sense, it is worth mentioning the possibility of making a complete and economical visit to the city by acquiring ‘La Llave de Segorbe’, a cultural voucher that allows us to benefit from discounts in all the museums and that can be acquired in the tourist office of Segorbe.
The natural environment completes a visit to this city with such interesting natural spaces as the `Fuente de los 50 Caños´, next to the Palancia river, the Sopeña promenade or the visit to the Hermitage and Spring of Hope, the latter declared Municipal Natural Site*.
In summer, the whole family can enjoy the Segóbriga Park aquatic complex, themed in medieval times and ideal for children.
Local Festivities, declared to be of National Tourist Interest, begin on the last weekend of August and special mention should be made of the second week, when the renowned the Entrance of Bulls and Horses, declared to be of International Tourist Interest and Intangible Cultural Heritage, is held.
On the 8th of December, the `Feria de la Purísima´ is held, a multitudinous fair with a wide variety of stalls and fairground attractions that has been declared a Festivity of Tourist Interest in the Autonomous Community.
*The Esperanza Municipal Natural Site was declared as such in 2006 and covers an area of 12.97 ha. Esperanza Mountain corresponds to a small hill that rises to a maximum height of 445 metres, on the highest part of which we find the hermitage and the ruins of the Jerónimos monastery, and on the lower part of which we find the spring. Nowadays, given its proximity to the town centre, Esperanza mountain is used as a recreational, walking and leisure area.
