CUENCA

This city features stunning architecture and nature, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a vibrant art scene, making it a perfect destination for exploration.
BOOK EXPERIENCES ▸ The most outstanding feature of the city is its beauty, which stems, on one hand, from the harmony between nature and architectural space, and on the other, from its long historical trajectory that has left an important cultural and monumental legacy. On December 6, 1996, Cuenca was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the excellent preservation of its original urban landscape, medieval fortress, and rich collection of civil and religious architecture from the 12th to the 18th centuries. In addition, the city boasts an exceptional character as it is perfectly integrated into the magnificent natural landscape that surrounds it. Cuenca, known worldwide for its perfect symbiosis with contemporary art, has been a reference of artistic vanguard since the 1960s. Three complementary spaces house essential collections for understanding the movements that crossed the Atlantic and found a unique identity in the city: the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art, the Torner Space, and the Antonio Pérez Foundation. Nature embraces Cuenca and blends seamlessly with the city, serving as a perfect example of urban integration within a uniquely attractive natural environment. The spectacular gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers—a haven for numerous bird species—sculpt the landscape, forming a natural heritage that invites exploration.EXPLORE THIS CITY
