What this page advised while Revenga and Navas de San Antonio was listed
Two separate fires burned south of Segovia over the weekend. The larger, at Navas de San Antonio, started on Saturday 8 August after a car caught fire on the hard shoulder of the AP-6, and the Junta de Castilla y León raised it to gravity level 2, the level used when a fire threatens people rather than only woodland. Los Ángeles de San Rafael and Vegas de Matute were evacuated and Valdeprados was confined. At the peak 176 people were sleeping away from home, 137 in the sports hall at El Espinar and 39 in the La Panera civic centre at Villacastín. The second fire began at 16.54 on Sunday 9 August at Revenga, in the municipality of Navas de Riofrío about eight kilometres from Segovia and up against the Guadarrama national park, and was declared at gravity level 1. It cut the N-603 between Segovia and San Rafael, from kilometre 87 to kilometre 64. Both fires eased when the wind dropped overnight on Monday. The CECOPI met at half past eight on the morning of Tuesday 11 August under the territorial delegate Raquel Alonso, ended the evacuation of Los Ángeles de San Rafael and Vegas de Matute, reopened the SG-722 at Valdeprados, and brought the Navas de San Antonio fire down to gravity level 1.

Checked against CECOPI Segovia, chaired by the territorial delegate Raquel Alonso, reported by EFE on 2026-08-11, while Revenga and Navas de San Antonio was still listed. Nothing below has been rechecked since, so read every line as the position on that date rather than the position today. The source below is the authority.
- Check locally: Navas de San Antonio fire lowered to gravity level 1. The Junta de Castilla y León had it at gravity level 2 from Saturday 8 August. CECOPI lowered it to level 1 on the morning of Tuesday 11 August once every population protection measure had been lifted. (as of 2026-08-11)
- Check locally: Revenga fire held at gravity level 1. Declared at 16.54 on Sunday 9 August in the municipality of Navas de Riofrío. Crews were working hot spots and closing the perimeter on Monday 10 August. The cause is under investigation. (as of 2026-08-10)

- Advice in force at the time: Heat alert across Castilla y León. Emergencias 112 Castilla y León has an alert in force in every province for maximum temperatures to 39 degrees, with fire risk described as very high reaching extreme. Seasonal prevention rather than anything to do with these two fires. (as of 2026-08-11)

Checks that still apply if you are going anyway
What is open again
The SG-722 at Valdeprados reopened on Tuesday 11 August. The N-603 between Segovia and San Rafael reopened on Monday 10 August. Traffic on the AP-6 was restored on Saturday 8 August.Nobody is still out of their home
Los Ángeles de San Rafael and Vegas de Matute were cleared to return on Tuesday morning. The Valdeprados confinement went on Monday. No accommodation has been reported closed at any point.The burnt ground itself
Both fires are still at gravity level 1, which means crews are working hot spots and closing the perimeter. Keep off the burnt strips and stay on made tracks, and do not assume a forest road is passable because a satnav offers it.What to look for next
Gravity level 0 is the first thing to look for, then extinguido. Both are published by the Junta de Castilla y León and carried on the Emergencias 112 Castilla y León feed.Nearby alternatives to compare
- Segovia,The city itself was never in the fire zone and nothing in it was closed. The nearer of the two fires was about eight kilometres away.
- Villacastín,It took in evacuated people at the La Panera civic centre rather than being threatened itself. No closure was reported there.
- El Espinar,It housed 137 evacuated people in its sports hall. Its water supply was cut as a precaution and restored, so ask about that before a long stay, but nothing there was evacuated.
