Cuenca Essentials

Cuenca is defined by its dramatic position atop a limestone spur between the Júcar and Huécar river gorges. This selection features the 14th-century Casas Colgadas, which cling to the cliff edge, and the landmark Cuenca Cathedral, the first Gothic cathedral in Spain. The list covers historical defenses like the Castillo ruins and Arco de Bezudo, modernist culture at the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art, and panoramic views from the Cerro del Socorro viewpoint.
