Where to stay?
The Serranía de Cuenca offers a wide range of lodging options, among which rural homes are the most numerous—some of them, as detailed below, specialize in ecotourism—followed by vacation apartments. There are also guesthouses and campgrounds. There is a variety of options to suit all tastes and styles.
However, we recommend choosing accommodations affiliated with Soy Ecoturista, which you’ll find on this page; these are accredited by the Natura 2000 Network for their commitment to conservation and local development.

How can you travel and explore the region?
To travel between the towns in the region, you’ll need to use a private vehicle, since this is a sparsely populated area and there is no established public transportation system. However, there is a well-marked and well-maintained network of trails that invites you to explore on foot and lose yourself in the Serranía.
How many days does it take to explore the mountain region?
The Serranía de Cuenca region consists of three areas: the Serranía Alta, the Serranía Media (or Campichuelo), and the Serranía Baja. Since this is a fairly large region—covering 721,461 hectares—we recommend spending at least 5 days here, although a week would be ideal. This is a region where it’s best to get lost, exploring at a leisurely pace and keeping in mind that there are many fascinating landscapes that may be less well known.
What's the weather like?
The climate of the Serranía de Cuenca is an inland Mediterranean climate, characterized by marked seasonal variation: cold winters and warm summers, during which temperatures fluctuate widely and can reach extreme values. This makes it essential to plan your trip in advance, check the weather forecasts, and choose footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
