Leaving from La Manchuela conquense
La Manchuela in Cuenca, in the south-east of the province, has Motilla del Palancar where the A-3 crosses the N-320, and Quintanar del Rey, with its furniture industry, and Villanueva de la Jara as farming towns. It sits halfway between Madrid and Valencia, and many of its trips head for the coast.
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.
Ciudad Encantada (Cuenca), seen from Cuenca
The Ciudad Encantada is a landscape of limestone rocks shaped by erosion, in the Serranía north of Cuenca, along the Valdecabras road. There is no regular public transport there, and in winter the road can have ice or snow.
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
- Serranía season (spring to autumn): From spring to autumn, especially on long weekends and weekends, the Ciudad Encantada and the Serranía get most of their visitors. These are spots far from the city with no bus, and it is best to go with the return trip booked.
Tip: If you are catching the AVE in Cuenca, remember that Fernando Zóbel is outside the city: allow for the drive from home to the station, not just the train time.
