Itinerary
We will start in the Anteplaza, in the mosaic that represents the shield of Cuenca, right next to the Tourist Information Office, in front of the City Hall. From here, we will go up to Mangana Square, to know its tower and a history marked by the seventeenth-century witchcraft psychosis that took place in Cuenca.
We will return on our steps to go to the Plaza Mayor, and we will continue through an alley to get to know the famous skyscrapers of San Martín and Santa Catalina, the Hanging Houses and the legend of the Casa de la Sirena.
Once this is done, we will head towards the Cathedral, where we will know one of the prophecies of the famous French astrologer Michel de Notrédame, Nostradamus, intimately related to Cuenca and its famous temple.
We will continue walking towards the highest part of the city along the Ronda del Huécar or Julián Romero street and we will continue climbing to know the mystery that houses one of the first Christian churches of Cuenca, the church of San Pedro, and from there we will cross to the Sickle of Júcar.
.
As we descend the path of the sickle, we will know the scenario from which the Holy Inquisition woke up the poor victims who fell in their claws, to finish the route in a beautiful and mysterious place like few others: the hermitage of the Virgen de las Angustias , and we will end with the most famous history of the city: the legend of the Devil's Cross.

The experience was totally negative. Not by the guide Carlos but by planning. The free tour is overcrowded (there would be almost 60 people), you could hear almost nothing and the topic was not interesting to any of the eight who were going so we decided to abandon it. Too bad because Cuenca is beautiful day and night.
First time we get a Guide for a lightning getaway and it won't be the last. First we took the Guide to tell us the history and monuments of Cuenca and second has been the legends and mysteries of Cuenca. Alejandro explained everything in the two excursions super well, we spent two hours flying. It advises you and solves your doubts in the moment. It is a credit to this company to have a person like him be involved, responsible, friendly and friendly. Thank you for teaching us and telling us the most hidden story of Cuenca.😍 We are learning many anecdotes and learning in a fun and enjoyable way. We promise to come back!!
A great experience. Angela is a great communicator with her touches of humor and everything. We loved it. It is a different way of getting to know the city.
In the afternoon we took a legends tour of Cuenca, with Ángela. Very friendly and attentive, also with good touches of humor, taking into account everyone in the group and patience so that we could all find out about the mysteries that the city of Cuenca keeps in its streets. Another professional who has great knowledge and knows how to transmit it in a very pleasant and relaxed way, never loses attention. It is worth it and we will repeat other experiences they have, to continue knowing interesting things about the city.
Angela was an exceptional guide. She made the experience very enjoyable. It is a pleasure to be able to get to know a city from such nice and fun people.
Very interesting and entertaining tour. Angela is a magnificent host who captures all our attention and makes the two hours of the route fly by. Cuenca changes at night and is mysterious.
Angela, our guide, very entertaining, dynamic and fun. We did another tour with her in the morning and it was what made us repeat 😊
Night view highly recommended. We really liked how Ángela presented them to us and we recommend it even for those who have not seen anything about Cuenca previously. It is very worth it, and we had a night on November 1st with "calabobos".
Fantastic route with a good storyteller, as well as extensive knowledge of Cuenca. Thank you!
We did the legend tour yesterday with the guide Alejandro and it was great, we loved it. It was two hours, but they got fun.
