NEWS for 2023-2024: New map in Peguerinos by Joel Börjesson Eriksson!

A total of approximately 350 controls on 20-25 trainings in up-to-date maps, including the legendary maps of Peguerinos.

Most of these maps are unknown to foreign orienteers!

Sportident trainings once a week.

This year we have about 10 more new forest and old city sprint maps.

Night trainings, perfect camps for 10-mila! We will also offer maps and courses at 1:5000 to suit veterans. Courses offered for any level of knowledge.

The altitude of most of the maps are about 200 meters lower than many of the other maps from further up north in Madrid, which means we are below the snow risk altitude and we can welcome orienteers to Madrid already from January! 

There have been about 20 new maps made over the last 4 years!

ORIENTEERING HISTORY
Martin Kronlund, Sweden, was the introducer of orienteering in Spain. He lived here from 1962 until he passed away in 2007, 91 years old. The place in Spain that he loved the most, he always said, was the Peguerinos forests: “They remind me so much of Sweden.”
His ashes are spread in the Peguerinos forests.
