Casas Colgadas de Cuenca — Attraction in Cuenca

Cuenca is roughly 2 hours of nice diving from Madrid. I will highly recommend to go there at least for a 2 days trip. The old Cuenca is at the top, around a hill, where two rivers join. The hanging houses are the type of house hanging from a hill, built up. We didn't visited the interior of one, but you can imagine that houses that your daily life there means taking a stair up or down all the time: from the bedroom to the bath, to the kitchen, to the living, back to the bedroom.

Take your time to walk around the city. I will recommend at least 2 two hours walks around the city, and just follow the labyrinthine streets. You will find other views, other statues, from each side of the hill, and always have a chance to take a picture. We were in winter and did the walk in the evening until/after sunset. We had fantastic views from the top of the city looking west.

You can start your walk from a public parking down the slope (paid), in front of the Teatro Auditorio Cuenca, walk towards the Puente de San Pablo and then head west and down to Torre de Mangana.

Or park park on the top of the hill, to the east of the city, near Mirador Barrio del Castillo, public free parking, and walk to the...

Cuenca is one of the best cities we visited during the off-season, and we definitely recommend going there, as it has the best atmosphere we experienced among Spain’s ancient cities for tourists. We absolutely loved the hanging houses and the entire old town with its varying levels and the impressive fortifications that once made it almost impregnable. It’s incredibly beautiful, and if you climb higher, you get a stunning view of the entire city, both old and new, as well as the monasteries. The impressions were simply magical. We were lucky with the weather: the first day was rainy, which added a special atmosphere to the old town, making everything come alive, and then the next two days were sunny and warm, very welcoming. We also visited the Dinosaur Museum, which our son still fondly remembers. It was a truly...

Las Casas Colgadas son increíblemente impresionantes. Sus asombrosos paisajes, su gente y el ambiente que brinda te permite transportarte a que te encuentras definitivamente en un lugar mágico nunca antes visto. Una ciudad hermosa, desde el comienzo del camino es uno asombrante, lleno de paisajes de películas, de sueño. La hermosura de la naturaleza que te permite gozar las vistas de Cuenca son absolutamente inolvidables y una experiencia que debe tener todo el mundo. Yo fui como parte de los lugares que mi novio y yo queríamos visitar durante nuestras vacaciones en España un país tan hermoso y con una cultura tan impresionante. Lo único malo o incómodo que pudiera encontrar algunos de los visitantes es que al terminar el recorrido la única forma de salir es cruzando un puente de madera y acero, por lo que personas con problemas de miedos a las alturas o dificultad a bajar cuestas igualmente se les hará un poco dificultoso el recorrido. De igual forma es una experiencia maravillosa.

The beauty of nature that allows you to enjoy the views of Cuenca are absolutely unforgettable and an experience that everyone should have. I went as part of the places that my boyfriend and I wanted to visit during our vacation in Spain such a beautiful country with such an impressive culture, places and people. The only bad or difficult thing would be that some of the visitors could find is that at the end of the tour or to get out the city, the only way to get out is crossing a wooden and steel bridge, so people with problems of fears of heights or difficulty going down slopes are also the tour will make them a little difficult. It is important to let know that it is a wonderful experience but also the difficulties that some handy caps or people with some difficulties...
