Segorbe

Segorbe is a town of about 8,900 people (2018) in Castellón (province). Segorbe's bull-running week (semana de Toros) in September attracts 200,000 visitors each year.

Understand
Segorbe has been inhabited since the earliest of times, due to its strategic location with fertile lands, a navigable river, and springs. During the Islamic era (8th-13th centuries) Segorbe was considered to be one of the most important cities of the Muslim province of Toledo. Its last Muslim ruler converted to Christianity in the early 13th century, and it was later occupied by King Jaime I of Aragon, who used it as a base for the conquest of Valencia.

In modern times the town is known for olive oil and wine, and for its annual running of the bulls.
