Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the chronology and characteristics of the permanent orienteering circuits in Spain. The sample of this work consisted of those permanent orientation circuits whose existence in Spain could be verified (n = 115). The search for the sample was carried out mainly through the Google search engine. After this search, various variables such as the year of creation, place where it is located, modality, environment, control system, etc., were analyzed through SPSS 20.0 using descriptive and inferential statistics. From the results, a growing trend can be observed in the number of permanent orienteering circuits, being the first circuit inaugurated in 2004. The predominant modality is the O-pie, and as for the type of environment, in open the natural environment and in limited environments the parks. The most used control system is the beacon edited with point codes, letters, etc. It can be concluded that the permanent orienteering circuits have been increasing over the years, having a considerable increase in the last 5 years compared to the previous years. In conclusion, their presence is unevenly distributed throughout Spain and technologies are integrated into them, a resource so present in our society and in many areas.
