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.
