Tour to Cuenca and the Ciudad Encantada from Madrid
From Madrid, you can reach Cuenca in a day and see the city, which rises above a gorge, and the natural cliffs that resemble a stone labyrinth.
About this event
The day trip from Madrid takes us to Cuenca, a city declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and to the natural landscapes that surround it.
Departure begins in central Madrid. A brief stop is expected during the journey. The first stop on the route is the Ventana del Diablo viewpoint, with views of the ravines and rocky crevices.
The group then heads to the Ciudad Encantada nature park. Here, limestone rocks take on unusual shapes created by natural erosion. The walk is led by a guide and offers the chance to discover one of Spain’s most famous natural landscapes.
In the second part of the day, the route runs through the city’s historic centre. The guide shows the medieval streets and the main monuments. A stop is then planned at Plaza Mayor, where there is free time. If you wish, you can visit the cathedral on your own.
The tour ends at the San Pablo bridge, with views of Cuenca’s hanging houses.
