Camping Caravaning Cuenca

Gorgeous old Cuenca is five or ten minutes from Camping Caravaning Cuenca away by car and dates back to the early eighth century. It's most famed for its Las Casas Colgadas or the Hanging Houses of Cuenca, carefully constructed in the fifteenth century over a rock above the Huecar gorge. A restaurant and the Museum of Abstract Arts are in the remaining houses these days if you want to go inside (highly recommended). Also in Cuenca (you'll need at least a couple of days), see the old tomes at the Seminary; Cuenca Cathedral and the religious art at the nearby Bishop's Palace; old Arab fortress El Castillo; the Archeological Museum, and the sculptures around San Julián's park. Around Cuenca, take the camera to the scenic spots of the Devil's Window or Palancares (Facebook smugness guaranteed), tee off at La Verda Golf Club, or make the driveworthy trip to the ancient canyon and rock formations of the Ciudad Encantada or Enchanted City. For outdoorsy days, go fishing, kayaking and canoeing in and along the Júcar river, or quad biking, climbing, canyoning, caving or horse riding in the surrounding countryside.
