Il programma nel dettaglio

Meet your guide and together take a private car to Cuenca.



First of all, we will visit “la Ciudad Encantada”, a geological site in which the erosive forces of weather and the waters of the nearby Júcar river have formed rocks into distinctive and memorable shapes.



Later we will go to the city of Cuenca, to take you on a nice walking tour through the old town. This part of Cuenca preserves an important historical and monumental heritage.



However, it is focused in the Cathedral and the Hanging Houses that have become the icons of the city.



During the tour we will visit the Major Square, where is located the Gothic Cathedral. The construction of this building started in the XII century, when the Romanesque style was predominant.



However, this cathedral shows a French style because of the influence of the royal court of the king Alphonse VIII. We will continue the walking tour until the great Saint Paul Bridge.



From there we will have an incredible view of the Hanging Houses. We will cross the bridge and go to a viewpoint where we will have the opportunity to take the best photos of the Cuenca’s old town and the Handing Houses.
