A Photographic Journey Through Spain’s Scenic Town
by Chris Wills on DuckAbroad
Why we featured this post
Considering Cuenca as a day trip from Madrid with kids? This photo-led walkthrough gives you the logistics (1 hour 40 minute by train) and a realistic play-by-play of what you will actually do once you arrive: cathedral stop during a sudden downpour, wandering medieval lanes, and the classic Hanging Houses viewpoint from Puente de San Pablo. You also get practical parent intel, like the food-court detour for picky eaters and a quick caution about strangers offering to “help” with photos.
Things to do
- Ride the train from Madrid, then bus downtown
- Stop in Cuenca Cathedral and explore inside
- Walk the old town streets toward the Hanging Houses
- Cross Puente de San Pablo for Hanging Houses photos
- Climb up to the Castle of Cuenca for city views
