Cuenca is a Spanish city located in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, capital of the homonymous province. It stands out for its historic center declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, characterized by its Hanging Houses that overlook the deep canyon of the Huécar River. With an approximate population of 53,429 inhabitants (INE 2024), Cuenca combines its rich medieval history with a privileged natural environment, located in the eastern part of Castilla-La Mancha, at the confluence of the Júcar and Huécar rivers. Its importance lies in its cultural, architectural and natural value, being a tourist and cultural reference in Spain. The city offers a balance between historical heritage, nature and modernity, with museums, festivals and typical cuisine of the region. Its geographical location in a mountainous terrain and its continentalized Mediterranean climate make it special, with cold winters and hot summers, and a landscape that invites outdoor activities and cultural tourism.
