5 Plans to enjoy Cuenca in summer

Summer is coming and one of the favorite destinations is Cuenca. And Cuenca is home to one of the largest green areas in Cuenca, making it the chosen one for those who flee from the crowds. We tell you how to enjoy this summer in Cuenca.

1. Cuenca Tour

If you are in Madrid and you don't have much time, your getaway is the Cuenca Tour. This 1-day tour departs on Mondays and Saturdays from Conde de Casals and takes you comfortably to Cuenca. The first stop is Bodega Finca La Estacada, where we stopped to have a coffee, see the vineyards and get in touch with this land full of riches. Afterwards we will go to the Enchanted City to explore this karst landscape located in the Serranía de Cuenca area and be surprised by the curious shapes that nature has been sculpting. In the afternoon we head to Cuenca to discover this World Heritage city that is the perfect mix between nature and medieval architecture. We will tour its most notable monuments from its wall, to the Plaza Mayor, its cathedral, which is the first Gothic cathedral in Spain, and of course, arriving at the Hanging Houses, an example of Cuenca's architectural expertise. Without a doubt, a great recommendation to live a Cuenca experience.

2. Photoespaña in Huete

Huete is located in the La Alcarria region, which hides a great landscape, gastronomic and cultural wealth. This Alcarreña city offers a great summer offer with cultural, sports and leisure activities. Its Antonio Pérez Foundation Museum of Photography is one of the great essentials. Located in an old convent, it houses the Alfonso exhibition until August 30. Be careful with the memory of Photoespaña. You can complete your visit to Huete with one of its most unique resources: Roman mines of Lapis Specularis. This crystallized gypsum was used as glass throughout the Roman Empire before glass appeared. In these mines it is 17º all year round. , and is highly recommended for family getaways.

 

3. Playas de Cuenca

Aunque en sus ríos, Cuenca cuenta con playas fluviales para disfrutar de la naturaleza en los meses de calor. En la misma capital encuentras la Playa de Cuenca, en la hoz de su río Júcar, en un pareje precioso desde contemplar la ciudad colgada. Ideal para ir a pasar el día puesto que cuentas con restaurante, piscinas naturales y artificiales.

Adentrándonos en la Serranía de Cuenca encontramos la Playa de Cañamares, un paraje natural de gran encanto donde disfrutar de un baño en sus aguas cristalinas. Estos paisajes se han formado en el río Escabas, si sigues el curso de este río encontraras lugares sorprendentes con paisajes llenos de encanto.

4. Summer cinema in Tarancón

And if there is something we love about summer, it is the summer nights, and what better than enjoying a movie in the moonlight. Tarancón this year repeats with its summer cinema after the success of previous editions with titles to enjoy with the family.

In addition, Tarancón offers a varied gastronomic offer to fully enjoy its terraces. Great plan!

5. Noheda site

During the month of July, visits to archaeological sites decrease, making it an ideal time to enjoy them more quietly. The good thing about the Noheda Mosaic is that it is covered and you do not have to visit it under the scorching sun. If you don't know it, you no longer have an excuse to visit the largest figurative mosaic in the entire Roman Empire,

Don't forget to complete your visit with the Interpretation Center located in Villar de Domingo García and buy one of the best breads in the world.

In case you doubted it, Cuenca is the perfect destination for the summer months. We are waiting for you to Cuenquear this summer!
