Context
Traditional archery in Turégano takes place near the Castle of Turégano, a fortress dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, with archaeological remains from Celtic-Iberian, Roman, and Arab periods. This rural area of Segovia offers a spacious, open environment ideal for archery, where wind carries the scent of typical Castilian vegetation and silence is only broken by the soft creak of wooden bows under tension.
The experience
Over approximately one hour, you’ll learn to draw the string, aim, and fire arrows using traditional wooden and leather bows under expert guidance. Feel the tension in your hands and the release as arrows fly toward targets, all while gazing at the imposing castle walls and listening to the satisfying thud of impact. This activity blends precision, focus, and deep connection with both natural and historical landscapes.
For whom
This activity is ideal for anyone over 8 years old who wants to begin archery, families with children, small or large groups seeking outdoor recreation, and tourists wishing to combine sport with cultural heritage. It is not suitable for those needing assisted mobility unless confirmed in advance, nor for experienced archers seeking advanced training.
Local context
Turégano is a pre-Roman village with remarkable historical heritage, where tradition and nature coexist in harmony. Practicing archery here connects directly with regional history, in a setting where local communities actively preserve Segovia’s cultural and natural legacy through daily life and tradition.
