Incomparable Calm and Peace

In the middle of the Serranía de Cuenca, at about five kilometers from the Enchanted City, you will find this beautiful little village. Although the locals assure that the village turns into frenzy during the summer, in the springtime you can feel an incomparable atmosphere of calm and peace. The village is surrounded by the cliffs of the Serranía, and it also has a lovely pond in the center: the real star of the village. The square is a very nice place where you can spend some time after lunch, by the shadow of the fruit trees in bloom.

If you want to stay there you have two options: a rural cottage for a good price and a hostel/camping for an even better price. The village also has two bars, where you can buy local wine, and a grocery store on the shore of the lake.

The best of Uña is, without a doubt, its privileged enclave. It is really easy to walk from there to the Enchanted City and to go on excursions to the Cuervo River. I highly recommend it!

A Mountain Village with natural spots

This town of the Serranía de Cuenca, located between the lake-swamp and the Jucar River is on the way between Cuenca and the mountains of La Toba, Las Majadas, El Hosquillo, the source of Cuervo River, Los Callejones, Tragacete and other places. You can get there from the city of Cuenca by taking the CU-921 road towards Villalba de la Sierra, where the Hoz del Júcar starts, next to the hydroelectric central and the Ventano del Diablo. You can also get there from the Alto Tajo via Beteta and Tragacete.

The beauty of this lake-swamp lies in its rich ecosystem of flora and fauna. "Los Cortados" ravine, next to the great height of the mountains that surround it, form a landscape of great beauty. In the urban development of the village, the highlights are San Miguel Arcángel Church (13th century), the tidy streets, fountains, parks, and the viewpoint of the lake. There is also the village of Unión Fenosa that is full of lovely houses (currently being reformed), and that is located next to the exit of the channel of the lake-swamp that supplies the electric power station of Villalba de la Sierra. Some of the young "canteiros" people of Castro Laboreiro participated in the building of the infrastructures of the swamp, channels and village in the years 1925 and 1926. We were lucky to hear the story of their stay in Uña and La Toba when we were kids.

Around the village there are stunning natural spots on the way, next to the reservoir of La Toba, near the Jucar River and through the road to Las Majadas up to the the high mountain region.

Green and Azabache valley.

El valle Verde y Azabache.

En su Tesoro de la lengua castellana o española (1611), Sebastián de Covarrubias escribió lo siguiente de esta localidad: "Uña, villa en el obispado de Cuenca, y aunque es pequeña tiene cosas muy notables; entre otras una laguna muy grande, con tanta abundancia de truchas, que están perpetuamente saltando sobre el agua. Los pescadores entran a pescar en unos pedazos de troncos de una pieza a manera de artesas y la laguna es hondísima. Tiene otra particularidad, que parece mentira: una isla con hierba que se apacienta en ella ganado, y algunos arbolicos; esta corre por toda la laguna, siendo llevada de los vientos. Está fundada en cierta manera de piedra esponjosa, que es como toba. (Ovidio, lib. 15 Metamor., por cosa maravillosa cuenta de las islas Simplégades que en un tiempo vagaron sobre el mar agitadas del viento). Tiene un valle angosto, que de una parte y de otra están los riscos muy altos, y a plomo y se va a dar a un rincón, a donde estos peñascos se juntan; debajo dellos, salen diferentes arroyos y fuentes, y dellas manan las truchas que van a caer a la dicha laguna. Tiene más una fuente que llaman del Azabache, que verdaderamente no difiere del azabache que se labra si no es en ser blando; y tengo para mí que quitándole los costrones de encima, se hallaría el azabache fino, pero no se ha intentado por no estragar la fuente, cuya agua dicen ser de muy buen sabor y saludable. Esta villa es de los marqueses de Cañete, y aunque tienen otras de más vecindad y autoridad, esta, a mi parecer, deberían estimar en mucho." .......................... Actualmente el valle y la laguna de Uña, resulta un rincón igualmente sorprendente por su hermosura: El paisaje verde esmeralda y el azabache reflejado en el agua, al pie de los blancos riscos. Un lugar de gran belleza paisajistica, que merece la pena conocer. Nosotros lo conocimos casi de casualidad, recorriendo la Serranía de Cuenca, en Junio, a nuestro aire, sin rumbo fijo...

In his Treasure of the Castilian or Spanish language (1611), Sebastian de Covarrubias wrote this town, "Fingernail, villa in the bishopric of Cuenca, and although small is very remarkable things, including a lagoon very large with . such an abundance of trout that are perpetually jumping over the water fishermen go fishing on some pieces of trunks of a piece by way of troughs and the lagoon is very profound has another feature, which seems to lie. an island with herb grazes her cattle, and some Arbolicos;.... this runs throughout the lagoon, being carried by the winds is founded on certain way of spongy stone, which is like tuff (Ovidio, lib 15 Metamor, for something wonderful account the Symplegades islands that once roamed over the choppy sea wind). it has a narrow valley, which on the one hand and on the other are very high crags, and lead and will give a corner, where these crags together, under Dellos, they leave different streams and fountains, and Dellas Manan trout that will fall to the lagoon. Has more than one source called the Azabache, really no different from jet that is tilled if not to be soft; and I have to me that removing the crusts off, fine jet would be found, but has not been tried for not ravage the fountain, whose water claiming to be a very good taste and healthy. This villa is the Marquis of Canete, and although they have other more neighborliness and authority, this, in my opinion, should be estimated in much. "................... ....... currently the valley and the lake of Uña, a corner is equally striking for its beauty: the emerald green landscape and reflected in the water jet at the foot of the cliffs white a place of great beauty. , which are worth knowing. We met almost by chance, crossing the Serrania de Cuenca, in June, our air, aimlessly ...

A small, cozy and charming people.

Un pueblo pequeño, acogedor y con mucho encanto.

Suelo ir mucho a Uña, tiene unos paseos estupendos, el río Júcar, una laguna natural en el mismo pueblo, unas formaciones de roca caliza donde se puede subir y admirar un paisaje estupendo, muy cerca está el embalse de la Toba, pequeño pero encantador. En Uña siento la fuerza de la naturaleza en cualquier época del año, me relajo, me "escapo" del día a día. Quiero compartirlo con vosotros a través de unas fotografías que he ido tomando esta primavera. Un saludo.

Uña no se puede explicar, hay que ...

Uña no se puede explicar, hay que vivirla, pasear por sus calles, subir por El Escalerón, bajar por la Raya,ir al arroyo de la Madera, la fuente de la Mora, el Batán (y buscar allí la huella de dinosaurio), rodear la laguna, si es posible al anochecer, la escuela de pesca y la piscifactoría. Me dejo algo? Posiblemente, porque a pesar de su pequeña superficie es un descubrimiento diario. A todo eso sumadle un cielo limpio y despejado y desde el mirador de encima de la laguna tenéis una lluvia de estrellas asegurada. ¿Se puede pedir más? Pues seguro que también hay más.

Claw can not be explained, you must live, walking the streets, go up the Escalerón, down the Raya, go to Timber Creek, the source of the Mora, the Batan (and search there dinosaur footprint), surround the lake, if possible at dusk, fishing school and farmed. I left something? Possibly, because despite its small size is a daily discovery. To all that Sumadle clean and clear sky and from the lookout above the lagoon have secured a meteor shower. Could you ask for more? For sure there are more.

Acogedora población situada al pie de los escarpes del Júcar y protegida por un promontorio rocoso que tiene aspecto de castillo. La sorpresa que te espera en esta pequeña localidad, que apenas conserva algunas casas de arquitectura serrana, es que envuelve una pequeña laguna en la que cuentan que hubo una isla movediza, llena de árboles, que se balanceaba con el viento, cambiaba de sitio e incluso aparecía y desaparecía.

Cosy resort located at the foot of the escarpments of Júcar and protected by a rocky promontory that looks like castle. The surprise that awaits you in this small town, barely retains some mountain architecture houses is that wrapped a small lagoon where you say that there was a shifting island, full of trees, swaying in the wind, changing site and even appeared and disappeared.
