THE WEEKLY EDIT
Monday, 5 October 2026 · Your week in Segovia
A city to share.
Good morning, Segovia. This week, we look at what an international university can give back to its city, follow Machado into quieter streets and ask what a growing population means for everyday life. There is also a chance to meet local employers, an evening at the theatre and a bar with a rock-and-roll soul.
Three reads. Two plans. One local discovery. Here’s your 3–2–1.

1. IE & Segovia: a shared future
El Editorial. Segovia does not need to choose between local identity and international ambition. Our new editorial asks how IE, UVa, businesses and residents can turn talent into shared opportunity — through better connections, skilled work and a city people can afford to belong to.

2. Walking with Giants: Antonio Machado
Segovia Stories. A rented room, a university for the people and a book beside the Eresma. Follow Machado’s poetic footsteps through six stops, from his boarding house to the Jardín de los Poetas. An invitation to spend an unhurried afternoon looking at familiar streets differently.

3. A growing Segovia: what changes for everyday life
Segovia News. The municipal register now records 54,241 residents. What should that mean for housing, public services and belonging? We look beyond the headline number to the questions that matter for people making a life here — and why growth needs better neighbourhood information, rather than assumptions about newcomers.

Santana Bar: turn up the character
Some bars have a concept. Santana has a personality. Rock and roll, tapas and affordable drinks make this old-town favourite an easy place to settle into an evening. The appeal is its lived-in atmosphere: a little music, a little conversation and plenty of local character.
Go for a drink, stay for the mood. It is the sort of place that helps a newcomer feel part of the city.
Calle Infanta Isabel, 18.
