THE WEEKLY EDIT
Monday, 12 October 2026 · Your week in Segovia
A city you can make your own.
Good morning, Segovia. Yesterday, I went to see Camuñas, surrounded by children and families. Its story of courage and the warmth of the occasion left me thinking about how we find our place in a city. This week’s edition follows that thought into a local business fair, the theatre and an evening out.
Three reads. Two plans. One local discovery. Here is your 3–2–1.

2. Meet the people building businesses here
Local News. FeriAJE returns to Plaza Mayor this Saturday. Our short guide suggests approaching it with curiosity: meet an entrepreneur, discover a local service and ask about the projects taking shape around you.

1 · Place worth discovering
Canavan’s Theatre: Segovia after dark
What keeps bringing me back is the music: the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s, in a setting with the feel of an English or Irish pub. On my visits, around midnight, the doors open into a nightclub with ornate décor reminiscent of French Baroque and Rococo and a more contemporary soundtrack.
IE students and local people share the space, and I love its lively, welcoming atmosphere. Plaza de la Rubia, 2.
