Additional Information

Embark on a journey to Cuenca, immerse yourself in its compelling history, myths, and intriguing facts of a city that earned a World Heritage site status in 1996. Our journey commences at Plaza Mayor, situated just at the foot of the Cathedral of Santa María and San Julián. From this junction, we’ll progress towards the ancient Muslim fortress, later transformed into a Jewish quarter, and witness the remnants of the palace of the Marquises of Cañete, the Torremangana, the synagogue, and the splendid balcony that overlooks the Júcar gorge. Trekking around the medieval barriers of Calle del Carmen, our path will lead us to the grand houses of Calle Alfonso VIII homes. Here, we will find the Alfonso VIII tunnels and Casa del Corregidor. Our journey will include a walk through their backyards to marvel at Europe’s earliest skyscrapers. The awe-inspiring picturesque view of the fortifications from the balconies of the Hoz del Huécar will elevate your experience, culminating our sojourn beside the San Pablo bridge and the Hanging Houses.

A little history. - The truth is that it was a pleasant experience. It was a way to get to know some corners of the city, as well as part of its history. Maybe we failed in not taking the package that includes the visit to the cathedral, because in the end, for one reason or another, we were left without seeing it inside.

The best way to get to know Cuenca - The best way to get to know Cuenca and its immense Gothic cathedral, with the help of Pablo Huerta, who transmits his passion for his hometown as well as his knowledge about Cuenca art, culture, history and architecture. Thank you for making a rainy day a visit full of light.

They don't serve and keep the money - I think they are scoundrels because I bought my 3 tickets and we had an incident and we delayed the start time of the visit and I advised the delay in writing to see if we could re-engage at the point where they were when we arrived and they did not answer me, I called and they also did not answer me and to top it off we go to the store and meet with closed doors. So they've kept my money for a job they didn't do and didn't even deign to contact me. Unfortunate

Terrible - I arrived at Calle Larga at 11.30am today, waited until 11.45. No-one arrived so I left to explore the city on my own. Very disappointed but just glad it only cost £5
