★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 398 reviews · from $96Our pick

Explore Cuenca’s Hanging Houses and the Enchanted City on a full-day trip from Madrid, with guided walks, dramatic views, and easy bus travel.

“Absolutely amazing trip, and I done a few from Madrid. Fantastic enthusiastic charming guide Fernando, who knows and loves the area so well. Small group(about 20) , which makes it so much more personable. Comfortable little bus. I loved the combination of nature with a jaw-dropping walk in the Enchanted City. Then a stop for a chill and a nice lunch (you pay for it but it’s not expensive). Then a walk with a lot of stories in the picture perfect town of Cuenca. You will get time to see the cathedral, 20-25min is enough. Can’t recommend enough!Read more”
