Besök Cuenca och en vingård i spanska Toscana från Madrid
Beskrivning
Lev Cuenca med ett öppet hjärta. Mer än en dagsutflykt, det är en resa för sinnena: historia, vin, natur och spänning på en enda dag. I en intim grupp på högst åtta personer kommer vi bort från konventionell turism för att upptäcka själen i denna bergspärla. Cuenca uppenbarar sig som en viskning av sten och luft, med sin medeltida charm och drömlika landskap. Du kommer att vandra genom gator genomsyrade av århundraden av historia, beundra katedralen Santa María och San Julián och de hängande husen, som svävar i tomrummet. Från St. Paul's Bridge kommer utsikten att ta andan ur dig. Vi kommer att smaka på den lokala essensen i en traditionell restaurang (varje person betalar för sin egen konsumtion). När kvällen faller tar vinet oss till en vingård, där jord och passion smälter samman. Bland fat och druvors aromer får du uppleva en exklusiv provsmakning och upptäcka hemligheterna som ger liv åt varje flaska. En upplevelse för dem som söker att känna, inte bara se, och kanske befinna sig i Cuencas själ.

Resplan
Vi kommer att träffas vid O'Donnell Gate med alla medlemmar i gruppen. Därifrån börjar vi vår resa till Cuenca.
Ankomst till Cuenca - 10:45
Vid ankomsten till den magiska staden Cuenca, förklarad som världsarv av UNESCO, börjar vi vår nedsänkning med en rundtur i dess utsiktspunkter. Vi kommer att lära oss hur araberna byggde denna stad mitt i Huécarflodens raviner, mellan imponerande klippväggar och hus som verkar hängande i luften. Vi kommer att gå genom dess kullerstensgator och klättra uppför dess branta sluttningar, gräva i hemligheterna i denna unika stad. Längs vägen kommer vi att dela med oss av dess historia, fascinerade av den imponerande medeltida arkitekturen och dess muslimska rötter.
Vi kommer att utforska denna juvel av gotisk arkitektur, byggd på 1100-talet, och besöka dess imponerande inre kapell, fulla av historia och symbolik. Dessutom kommer vi att upptäcka den unika sammansmältningen av vetenskapliga och religiösa element som gör denna katedral till ett unikt monument.
De hängande husen i Cuenca är en av stadens mest emblematiska ikoner och ett imponerande exempel på medeltida arkitektur. Dessa hus byggdes mellan 1300- och 1400-talen och verkar trotsa gravitationen när de lutar sig över kanten av en klippa med utsikt över floden Huécar. Ursprungligen fanns det många fler, men tre finns kvar idag. Vi kommer att kunna beundra dess träbalkonger som erbjuder spektakulära och unika vyer över den naturliga omgivningen, vilket skapar en harmonisk kombination av historiskt arv och naturskönhet.
Lunchstopp: Vi tar en paus så att du kan äta lugnt och utan att rusa på en lokal restaurang, eftersom vi försäkrar dig om att idén med vårt äventyr är för dig att njuta, koppla av och uppskatta Cuenca i takt med vår lilla grupp.
Innan vi börjar på vår återkomst kommer vi att besöka en lokal vingård som personligen besöks av dess ägare. Där kommer han att förklara för oss processen för att göra sina viner, medan vi njuter av en provsmakning i solnedgången, omgivna av fält som frammanar essensen av det så kallade "spanska Toscana".
Avresa till Madrid. Vi kommer att lämna dem på samma plats där vi hämtade dem.

Experience over all was great, the bus was a little hot in the back seats although they did have fans. Cuenca was beautiful but a very sleepy town. Nos our guide was new but she was super cute and did a great job. My favorite part was visiting the winery with Enrique and tasting his delicious wines and having a great time and lots of laughs with him. It was a great day!!!
This was a really fun day. The town is very cute and the winery owner is fun. It’s about an 22 hour day.
We had an amazing time on this tour. Meeting place was very easy to find and we left punctually. There were only 6 people in our group which was very nice. Though, they squeezed us all into a car which was quite tight. One couple had to cram in the very back seat, we had to sit three wide in the middle row (which was very cramped), and one lucky person got to sit up front. For a two-ish hour car ride each way, this was less than ideal and probably my least favorite part of the trip. Our tour guide was great though and provided great information and stories about the area. Cuenca is absolutely breathtaking and a fantastic place to visit. Lunch was not included but our tour guide said he had a reservation for all of us if we wanted to join. This sounded nice and convenient, but upon looking at the restaurant, none of the group decided to join as it was very expensive (Michelin- rated and everything). Our guide didn't really give us an other suggestions so we just wandered and found a good place on our own. We then headed to the winery which was very interesting. It is a very small winery and apparently the owner forgot we were coming so we waited outside until he could get there. The owner was very nice and funny and our wine "samples" were basically him filling a pitcher straight from the cool clay jars full of wine in the basement. He built the entire place himself and manages it on his own. He then took us upstairs where there was gorgeous views of the surrounding area and baked us some flatbreads. Overall, fun trip with intimate experience.
Cuenca is an extremely beautiful and interesting place to visit, and the small group format, with no more than six in the group is a particularly pleasant way to share the trip experience. The single factor that transforms a good day into a memorable day is the quality of the tour guide, who is essentially there to ensure that everyone on the trip has a positive experience. On this trip we were particularly fortunate to be looked after by Tim, who was very welcoming, personable and attentive throughout the day. Thank you Tim - you did a great job!
the City is amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable, the winery is a little underwhelming to be honest. The winemaker is fairly new at making wine and you tell by the taste. First thing i smelled in most of the varieties was alcohol. But you make the best of the situation and drink up. Our group was amazing which made the day a good one.
This is amazing tour. Pablo is the best tour guide we had him twice this week and he was wonderful - the city itself is a steep walk. The winery was not fancy on the outside but was the best time with the Enrique the wine maker and his lovely family I will remember this tour for ever.
It was an A1 service, Pablo our guide was always attentive to the group, taking care of every detail, you can tell that he is a very prepared person and likes what he does, then when we arrived at the vineyard we were greeted by Don Enrique who taught us his winemaking process but more than that, he taught us a lot about kindness and hospitality... made us spend an afternoon as if we were in family. Undoubtedly an experience I would repeat again
This is a very attractive tour, to a city southeast of Madrid, which has all the enchantments of the cliffs, Cathedral, history and not so crowded roads and plazas. Very well recommended for a day trip combined with a visit to the Bodega of Enriaue Moreno in the area was an excellent choice. Thank you to the excellent guide Andres and driver Millo, great treatment and information. It was great to spend the day with the whole group. Thanks again.
Loved everything about this tour! I’ve also done excursions to Toledo, Escorial, Segovia, and Avila and I’ll say that Cuenca was my favorite out of all of them! A must-see!
When I booked the tour, unfortunately due to insufficient participants, I was rebooked to another tour which is Salamanca and Avila. The tour guide Andres was fantastic, he explained every detail about the place we visited. We went to a restaurant in Salamanca which provides amazing local cuisine that I like it a lot. Andres is an excellent tour guide. Thank you for a lovely day
