Cuenca and Ciudad Encantada
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cuenca is an incredibly unique city situated in the charming region of Castilla. Its picturesque location on a rocky hill adds to its allure, making it a captivating destination for tourists.
Ciudad Encantada
On the outskirts of Cuenca, you absolutely have to visit the Ciudad Encantada. It's an incredible path of rock sculptures that were created by a fascinating natural karst phenomenon. You'll be amazed by the shapes that some of these rocks have taken on, resembling living creatures and even human structures like a dog, a seal, mushrooms, a turtle, and even a convent. It's truly a sight to behold!
Cuenca
Only 170 km away from Madrid, there is a captivating city that appears to be floating amidst the rocks: Cuenca. Its historic center is situated on a promontory at the meeting point of two impressive gorges. Within the old town, the ancient buildings harmoniously blend with the natural surroundings, creating a seamless extension. As you wander through the narrow streets, you'll encounter towering houses adorned with charming wooden balconies that overlook the gorge. These houses, known as the "Suspended Houses," are named for their unique position.
