Huete is a hidden town in the heart of La Alcarria waiting to be discovered. This charming town in Cuenca, with its rich history and natural environment, is the perfect destination for a two-day getaway. Join us on this exciting tour as we share our tips for exploring Huete to the fullest.

  • Day 1: NATURE AND TRADITION

The first thing of all is to plan your stay. How will you travel alone, with friends, as a couple? If you are traveling alone or with a partner, we recommend that you stay at the Casa Palacio Conde de Garcinarro, a small hotel located in an old 17th century house. If your thing is to travel in a group, we recommend rural houses in Huete. Start your adventure in La Alcarria in this cozy town where you can obtain additional details for your stay at the Tourist Office, located in the Monasterio de la Merced in Plaza de la Merced s/n.

Visit to the Roman Mines of Lapis Specularis "La Cueva del Sanabrio"

Despite its imposing name, this visit is essential in Cuenca. Lapis specularis, the first crystal in history, is found in one of the most impressive mining complexes of the Roman Empire. The experience, which is carried out in small groups, requires prior reservation through the Cuenqueando.com website or by sending an email to the Tourism Office turismo@huete.org. Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore Huete's Roman legacy.
