Absolutely stunning historic walled town. So well preserved and reasonably easy to walk. Yes there are cobbled streets and it is up hill to get the best views. Worth the walk to the top of the town. Take it slowly wandering in and out of narrow lanes that lead to wonderful outlooks. The cathedral and the museum are worth paying for the ticket to enter. The camera loves Cuenca. Stop for a cold drink and watch the sun set. Very impressive.

Històric Walled Town of Cuenca is located in a high point in the city, in acastilla-la-Mancha Region, in the center of Spain. This old town is wonderful, in fact it is included in Unesco World Heritage. Here you can walk around the old town and see las Casas Colgantes, the very curious cathedral, the main square, the San Pablo bridge, wonderful views of the gorges of Júcar and Huécar Rivers, some churches and some interesting museums. Really, walking around this area is fantastic. Top in the region!

The Cuenca Old Town and Cathedral are worth a visit. The town has done a good job with tourism and has multiple parking lots including a free one by the Castle. While you pass thru old town to get to them, they take you on a route that avoids the narrowest roads. It’s under two hours from Madrid. At first approach Cuenca looks modern and ugly. Don’t be deceived. The old town is lovely and hangs precariously over the cliff. While you can walk the main streets, wander onto the side streets for small crowds and small quaint shops and houses. The Cathedral for us was highlighted by the Choir and some of the side chapels. The cloister wasn’t particularly good, but walking out from there onto the balcony you get excellent views of the city. Near the front door you’ll find a carved representation of the Last Supper. It’s quite special although not exactly to my liking. Worth a visit. And use the complimentary audio guide. It’s helpful.
