Overview

Discover Cuenca’s stunning fortified historic quarter and immerse yourself in the history and heritage of a unique city declared a World Heritage Site.

We will begin our visit in the Plaza Mayor, next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria y San Julián, one of the first Gothic cathedrals of Castile. Along the way we will discover some of the most emblematic places of the city, such as the ancient Muslim cathedral, the Jewish quarter, the Torremangana, the tunnels of Alfonso VIII and the famous medieval skyscrapers.

We will also enjoy the breathtaking views over the Júcar and Huuécar muzzles from the surroundings of the St. Paul's Bridge and the iconic Hanging Houses.

We will finish the experience with the guided tour inside the Cathedral of Cuenca, known as "The Cathedral of Light".
