Before you book, this may help
- La Manchuela and Motilla del Palancar to Valencia along the A-3: Manises airport, Joaquín Sorolla station, the Requena-Utiel high-speed stop and when Barajas still pays off
La Manchuela in Cuenca lies on the Valencian side of the province: Motilla del Palancar is where the A-3 crosses the N-320 and from there Valencia is down the motorway through Minglanilla, Utiel and Requena, with Manises airport at an exit before the city.
- Cuenca without conventional rail: Fernando Zóbel station, which AVE trains stop and how to get there from Tarancón, Motilla, San Clemente or Mota del Cuervo
Cuenca is the only Castilla-La Mancha province to have lost its conventional railway: the line via Aranjuez and Utiel closed in 2022 with the stations of the city and the villages.
- Driving a private hire car in Cuenca: a province with no conventional railway, the Fernando Zóbel station seven kilometres out, Barajas or Manises depending on the district, and how each job arrives and is paid
Cuenca is the province where the car with a driver replaces a train that no longer exists: the conventional line closed and the only station is the Fernando Zóbel high-speed station, seven kilometres from the city with no rail link, so every village of the Serranía, the Alcarria and the Mancha conquense reaches it by car.
