Location
This Parador hotel is situated on a meander of the River Jucar, on a promontory, on the boundary of La Mancha and Levante. It is just at the entrance of the town itself and easily found.

Rooms
Every accommodation is uniquely decorated and individual. They have been furnished with wood furniture, some with four-poster beds and some with medieval style. The accommodations in the tower deserve to be highlighted, from the castle windows there are delightful views of the town, the deep gorge and the River Jucar surrounded by the plains of Cuenca.

Restaurant
The cuisine available at the restaurant is typical of the region which includes, amongst others, specialities such as El Morteruelo (finely chopped spiced and breaded pork), Los Zarajos (cured lamb tripe) and Las Gachas De Almortas (another pork dish).

General
Other cities are within easy reach by car; these are Cuenca (famous for its Hanging Houses) and the Ciudad Encantada (The Enchanted City) which resembles a silent ghost city because of the singular stone shapes.

Location
The Parador De Cuenca is situated opposite Cuenca's Hanging Houses, accessible by an extraordinary metal bridge. The N-III is the reference road from Madrid at the turn off from Tarancon, or from Valencia through Motilla del Palancar.

Rooms
There are 62 accommodations situated over 3 floors. Rooms on the second floor are the largest. Some of the accommodations have views over the cloister, but the most popular are the ones overlooking the city, gorges and hanging houses.

Restaurant
Visitors can sample the typical Cuencan cuisine, which is tasty and spicy reflecting the region's hunting and fishing. To accompany the meals there are excellent wines. In addition, one can sample the typical Cuencan Resoli liquor, made of spirits, coffee and sugar.

General
Cuenca is a truly original city hewn out of rock. The hotel's large windows overlook the famous Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) set on the rocks flanking Hoz del Huecar in implausible positions. It is a notable example of the late gothic style.
