Paseo del Huécar

Paseo del Huécar is one of the prettiest streets in all of Cuenca: an esplanade alongside the River Huecar, one of the two rivers of the city (the other one is the Jucar River). It has one of the most famous views of the city, since from there you can admire the Hanging Houses (Casas Colgadas), one of Cuenca’s jewels. The walk has a clear unevenness, since it’s one of the paths that can take you up to the upper city. It is a delight to walk through this street surrounded by the beautiful nature along the river.

The River Huecar has various bridges that allow one to cross from one bank of the river to the next one.

Along the bike path that runs from the exit of the Ermita de las Angustias, you can appreciate the cool air and green landscape throughout the whole journey. At the same time, you can enjoy the rocky lands that surrounds the area, providing a refreshing shadow in the summertime.
