Quintanar del Rey is in La Manchuela conquense. What the area is like and what trips start there

Which way it goes

Trips within Cuenca province are long and almost always by road: since the conventional line closed there has been no rail link between towns, and buses connect few places with few departures. The most requested trips run from La Mancha and La Manchuela to the capital — hospital, high-speed station, paperwork — and from the city to Fernando Zóbel station on the outskirts.

Estación Cuenca-Fernando Zóbel, seen from Cuenca

Cuenca-Fernando Zóbel station is on the Madrid–Valencia high-speed line, on the outskirts of the city and far from the old town. Since the conventional line closed in 2022 it is the capital's only station, so people arriving with luggage or from another town usually prefer a car.

On arrival: Cuenca y la Serranía

Cuenca city, above the gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers, is the gateway to the Serranía, a mountain area of pine forests and small villages stretching towards Teruel and Guadalajara. The city holds the hospital, the high-speed station and public offices, and gets tourists all year round.

When demand peaks

• Holy Week in Cuenca (Holy Week): Cuenca's Holy Week, of international tourist interest, and the Religious Music Week fill the city with visitors. Processions close the streets of the old town, so it is best to set the pickup outside the routes.
• Holidays and long weekends (Easter, summer, long weekends and Christmas): At the start and end of holidays, transfers to Barajas from Tarancón and Cuenca increase, as do AVE travellers arriving at Fernando Zóbel and heading on to the villages. First-thing flights and trains are the first to be booked.

Tip: For pickups in Cuenca's old town, give the exact address or a landmark: the streets of the upper town are narrow and it is not always possible to stop at the door.
