The Guardian Hay Festival Segovia
24–27 September 2009
Elegant Segovia, a short hour north of Madrid, is the perfect festival city. Lose yourself in the maze of backstreets, eat cochinillo in the excellent restaurants, drink beer in the central squares, take part in a plate-smashing ceremony and – of course – discover a wealth of Spanish and international writers, poets and artists.
The minisite for this festival will go live soon.
