Let's begin our tour in Castile-La Mancha, Cuenca.
I treasure this beautiful city in my heart because I spent the best years of my life living there.
As a student of Art I been looking around the narrow streets of the upper town the best spots to get inspired. Day by day discovering the secrets of this charming city declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.
You should not miss Cuenca in your tour.

Located 165 km from Madrid (2 hours driving by car) (50 min by high speed train)
Establish in the top of the mountain and surrounded by the Huécar and Júcar river canyons by Moors. This medieval city is clearly divided into two parts; the old and the modern.
The modern half offers very little history, started to develop after 1960's and 1970's mainly consisting of modern residences, tower blocks and apartments. The old part is one of the most wonderful places in Spain and is worthy of several days exploration.

The Old Town of Cuenca is an exceptional example of the medieval fortress town that has preserved its original townscape intact, along with many examples of religious and secular architecture from the 12th to 18th centuries.
The walled town blends into and enhances the fine rural and natural landscape within which it is situated.
