1. Santa Clara, Alameda de
Cervantes, Parque del Castillo, Parque del Duero and Valonsadero are
the five green spaces of the Spanish city of Soria that, from now on,
are equipped with Permanent Orienteering Courses. The initiative came
from the combined efforts of the Municipality of Soria, the
Navaleno-O Orienteering Club and the Spanish Orienteering Federation,
resulting in a set of 98 control points materialized on the ground
and that allow the design of different courses in each of the spaces,
appropriated for educational and playful activities. Created with the
main objective of encouraging the youngsters to the practice of
Orienteering, the Permanent Orienteering Courses also aims to be a
basis for the training of Orienteering monitors and for the
development of the sport, as much in terms of competition as in
initiation. To know more, please visit the Soria Municipality's
