Paradores de Turismo

PARADOR DE
CUENCA
Parador de Cuenca Surroundings
Cuenca is full of interesting sights. The city itself is beautiful. Sit
and enjoy chocolate con churros (drinking chocolate and donut
sticks) in the lovely Plaza Mayor (Main Square), surrounded by
history and monuments with virtually no traffic. Visit Santa María
y San Julián Cathedral, and of course, don't miss the amazing
vertical Hanging Houses, overhanging the Huécar River.
Just over 30 kilometers from Cuenca you can visit one of
nature’s wonderful caprices, the famous Ciudad Encantada
(Enchanted City). The limestone rock formations in this natural
area create the illusion of walking past streets, squares, tall
buildings, wooded areas, animals, Roman bridges and even
ships, all watched over by an enormous giant's head.
A stay at the Parador de Cuenca will allow you to discover a city
of magical beauty that is sure not to leave you indifferent.

Monumental and historic hotels
There are places that become travel destinations through which their
history can be discovered: castles, palaces, and old monasteries that
receive you today with all the comforts that only Paradores know how
to offer, but without losing the essence that made them part of our
history.
Hotels to enjoy the coast or nature
Close your eyes and imagine a place far away from the hustle and
bustle of daily life. In a landscape surrounded by evergreen
mountains, a terrace with sea views, a viewing point from which to
observe the flight of the birds over a lake. It is something you have
within reach but still haven't discovered, because this trip is closer
than you think. That getaway to nature is at Paradores.
Urban hotels at the heart of the city
The luxury and the service of Paradores in an urban setting is what
you're looking for. Civia arose to offer a hotel where you don't feel like
you're just passing through. The Civia collection is made up of
Paradores located in the city or nearby where you'll find everything
you need, whatever the reason for your visit.
