Antes de ir: consejos para Cuenca
Transporte
- Take the high-speed train: AVE trains from Madrid reach Cuenca's Fernando Zóbel station outside town; catch a city bus or taxi to the centre.
- Use the bus up the hill: City buses climb to the old town, saving you a steep walk from the new town.
- Rent a car for nature trips: Places like the Ciudad Encantada rock formations are easiest reached by car.
Seguridad
- Watch your step: The old town has steep cobbled streets and stairs that can be slippery, especially in wet or icy weather.
- Stay on marked paths: Gorge trails along the Júcar and Huécar rivers are scenic but have drops, so stick to official routes.
- Keep valuables secure: Cuenca is very safe, but keep an eye on bags in busy spots like Plaza Mayor.
Ahorro
- Enjoy tapas with drinks: Many bars serve a small tapa with your drink, making a bar hop a cheap way to eat.
- Order the menú del día: Weekday lunch menus offer several courses at a lower price than evening meals.
- Walk the gorges for free: The paths along the Huécar gorge give stunning views of the hanging houses at no cost.
Clima y ropa
- Prepare for cold winters: Cuenca sits at altitude, so winters are cold with frosty nights; pack a warm coat.
- Dress light in summer: Summers are hot and dry by day but cooler at night, so bring a light layer.
- Wear sturdy shoes: The steep, uneven old town streets demand comfortable walking shoes.
Cultura
- Try local dishes: Sample morteruelo, a rich game pâté, and ajoarriero, a cod and garlic spread.
- See Holy Week: Cuenca's Semana Santa processions are famous, so book well ahead if visiting at Easter.
- Taste resolí: This traditional local liqueur with coffee and spices is often served after meals.
Trucos locales
- Cross the San Pablo Bridge: The iron footbridge gives the classic view of the Casas Colgadas hanging over the gorge.
- Visit the abstract art museum: The Museum of Spanish Abstract Art is inside the hanging houses, combining art and architecture.
- See the old town at night: The hanging houses and cathedral are beautifully lit after dark, and streets are quieter.
