Cuenca + the Hanging Houses Day Trip
Description
We'll meet at the scheduled time at Plaza Conde Casal in Madrid to begin this trip to Cuenca. We'll hop on a bus that will take us to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city.
Once we arrive, we'll take a panoramic bus tour of the Hoz del Huécar, a geographical accident that formed a canyon where the Hanging Houses, St. Peter's Convent and the Posada de San José stand today.
We'll then make our way to the neighbourhood of Castillo, where we'll begin a walking tour of Cuenca. We'll see Plaza Mayor and make our way towards the city's most iconic monument, the Nuestra Señora de Gracia Cathedral. Once inside, we'll be stunned by the effect of the light as it passes through the stained glass windows.
Hunrgy yet? You'll also have an hour and a half of free time so that you can grab a bite to eat, where you'll find every type of restaurants serving local food.
Afterwards, we'll visit the famous Hanging Houses, where the Museum of Abstract Art is located. We'll be able to enjoy an authentic space dedicated to Spanish art from the 20th century and see works by Chillida, Feito, Canogar, Oteiza, Millares and Tapies, among other artists.
That evening, we'll return to the bus and bring this trip to an end once we arrive back at the starting point after 8 hours together.
