WELCOME
great atmosphere and climate
Dear Orienteering Friends,
We are honoured to organise the Stage1 of the
3rd World Cup Round 2014. Spain is going to be
a World Cup hosting country for the first time.
The City of Cehegín and the Murcia region is
ready to welcome the orienteering world again.
We hope you will enjoy interesting orienteering
courses and the great atmosphere and climate of
Murcia.
CEHEGÍN
culture, history, gastronomy, nature
Cehegín is an ideal town for walking all year
round and to take a break and enjoy
experiencing our culture, history, gastronomy,
nature, etc.
Evidence of the former glories of this town can
be seen in the remains of the city of Begastri,
occupied by both Romans and Visigoths, and an
episcopal set up until the Moorish invasion.
In fact, the whole of this territory is layer upon
layer of all the various cultures that established
themselves here, the first settlers going back to
2400 BC. Reconquered by Alphonse VI with
1,000 horsemen and 11,000 infantrymen,
Cehegín is one vast hilltop monument. Its
famous mediaeval quarter (a Historical and
Artistic Ensemble) owes its layout to the Arab
settlements in the upper part of the town, and is
a monumental gallery of stately homes,
churches, convents, palaces and public
buildings, some of indisputable value, such as
the Church of la Magdalena, the Palacio Fajardo
(an example of Murcian Baroque) or the Peña
Jaspe.
Aside from the indisputable value of its historical
and cultural ensemble, Cehegín has a number of
delightful surroundings: the fertile valley viewed
from the Plaza de la Constitución, the site known
as Hoya de Don Gil, or the Argos Reservoir,
even the town itself huddled around the hill, are
all well worth a look
