Information
The convent of San Pablo has a beautiful glazed cloister with semi-circular arches and a central courtyard where you can enjoy a drink on summer evenings. Other spectacular places in the Parador are the cafeteria, located in what was once the convent's chapel, and the swimming pool which provides a spectacular view of the city.
Cuenca, a city declared a World Heritage Site, is noteworthy for its architecture, its culture and its landscapes. The Old Town has retained its medieval appearance. The best way to get to know it is to walk through its steep, narrow streets and take the opportunity to visit its walls, cathedral, convents, noble houses and the Plaza Mayor.
Cuenca's important artistic heritage blends with the spectacular natural landscapes that surround it. The Parador is located in the bend of the river Huécar and is the perfect place for a trail along the riverbank leading to the most characteristic corners of the city.
Environment
The Old Town has much more to offer. The Plaza Mayor and its cathedral, the ruins of the castle, the Town Hall and the street of Alfonso VIII with its colourful houses are essential visits. If you’re an art lover, be sure to visit the Museum of Abstract Art.
About 25 kilometres away is the Enchanted City: a natural landscape of rock formations dating back 90 million years where we can recognise the shapes of dog, a tortoise or the face of a man. The Enchanted City is in the heart of the Serranía de Cuenca, which also offers special spots such as the source of the river Cuervo or the so-called Ventana del Diablo or Devil's Window.
