Great cathedral with beautiful gothic interior! The coloured glass on windows are very special, never seen anything with style like this. Going on the roof is also highly recommended. The museum is nice too.

Located in the Casas Colgadas, the wooden buildings hanging over the cliffs of the Huécar River, this museum offers stunning views. In 1961, Fernando Zóbel began searching for a suitable location for an abstract art museum, and in 1963, his friend and native of Cuenca, Gustavo Torner, suggested this site. The museum opened in 1966, initially showcasing Zóbel’s collection. The selection of works was focused on quality rather than quantity, with the exhibition layout designed to better express both European abstract art and Spain's unique artistic direction. After an expansion in 1978, the museum reopened that same year. Since Zóbel's donation in 1980, the museum has been managed by the Juan March Foundation, which has continued to expand the collection. Today, the museum houses over 1,500 pieces in its collection.

Visited in August 2024 Beautiful houses built on the cliffs behind the Cathedral along the Jucar River. The other side of the river is the Antiguo Convento de San Pablo. Very unique and worth taking the time to see if you are even close to the area.

It is a beam bridge located over the Huécar River, connecting the San Pablo Monastery and the old town of Cuenca. After the original bridge, built between 1533 and 1589, collapsed, the current structure was constructed in 1902 and opened in 1903. The bridge spans two sections, with a total length of 100 meters and a maximum height of 60 meters. From the bridge, you can enjoy views of the Huécar River and the canyon, as well as a perspective of the Casas Colgadas perched on the cliffs.

Very interesting. Hadn’t had the slightest idea how significant the folding knife making business was. The knife collection itself is very big. Both in types, geographic sample and sizes. It would be good to have an English version of the commentary available.

Interesting place in Albacete w all kinds of stores. From babies to toddler, wedding stores and an amazing orthopedic stores. Orthaform it is not just modern shoes for better posture but easthetic pieces for bathing suits and brasserie for persons w mamestomy. They also have an entire department for prosthetic. I visited the place since my husband has a prosthetic leg the service and price excellent!

Unfortunately we couldn't go inside, we had to take a cita/ appointment in advance. You can walk around the area around the castle, it is quite interesting.

Omg!!! This place is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It might be because I love caves and cave houses...From the village are plenty of signs to the Devil's cave. You can't miss it! At the reception is the owner, such a caracter, such a lovely man ( I think he is well known in Spain ) with his beautiful dog. We were allowed to visit with our two doggies. 💜 Impressed by the low price that includes the visit and a drink at the 5 floor balcony. There is a lot of history, old objects, pictures with the owner's past....so relaxing. I felt full of good energy and vibe after the visit. And the feeling of enjoying a good glass of red wine at the balcony...Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing with us this place!

The location is incredible, you can see the whole town, the bridge, the gorge both ways from here. We arrived at 14 and they wouldn't let us in. At the entrance there is a store with food and souvenirs, toilet.

I totally enjoyed our visit here. The caves are surprisingly extensive and lovely and cool. The tour ended with tasting their excellent wines and a dish of meats, cheese and mini breads. Capped off with a gift of the rather lovely glass's in which our wines were served, Which leaves each of us with a souvenir of a happy day (they will be getting frequent use:)

Little but intense is this castle in the old town of Almansa, achieving a overview of the city and many kilometers around. Inside you can learn about the history and the way it was constructed. You have to pay (no much) to the visit.

"Rising up from the mountain of Saint Christopher at an altitude of 550 metres, the castle is strategically located on the corridor of the River Vinalopó, giving it control of passage towards the lands and valleys of Castilla La Mancha, the valley of Montesa and the lands of Valencia and Murcia. The fortress now allows us to distinguish the two key periods in its history: Islamic and Feudal. Its construction began with the Almohads in the late 12th century, employing the rammed earth building technique to raise the ramparts and the first two floors of the keep. This involved compressing a damp mixture of sand, gravel and lime into an externally supported frame or mould, creating a solid wall. Various changes took place after the Christian conquest in the 14th and 15th centuries, which included the stone reinforcement of the existing ramparts, the enlargement of the keep using masonry, which reflects how the tower looks today, and the construction of an outer wall or barrier surrounding the entire fortress, in line with Castilian traditions. As a result, it was transformed into a magnificent late medieval construction whose structure and appearance allow us to place it amongst the large castles that marked the extensive Marquisate of Villena."

Definitely worth a visit as it only costs 1€ and Javier will give you an excellent summary, in Spanish, about its history which dates back to the Moorish period of the 12th Century. There are interactive projected displays on two floors of the Homage Tower albeit in Spanish only. The Castle's location has always been of strategic importance between Valencia and Murcia.

Nestled atop a strategic hill overlooking the charming city of Xàtiva, the Castell de Xàtiva stands as a majestic testament to centuries of history, a fact repeatedly lauded by visitors in their reviews. The sheer historical significance of this site, having witnessed the passage of Roman, Islamic, and Christian civilizations, deeply resonates with those who explore its ancient walls. Many reviewers enthusiastically point out the breathtaking panoramic vistas that unfold from the castle ramparts, offering sweeping views of the sprawling urban landscape below and the picturesque surrounding countryside. This visual reward is frequently cited as more than compensating for the journey to the summit, whether undertaken by car, the convenient tourist train, or even a more challenging but rewarding walk through the historic pathways. The general consensus is that the modest entrance fee represents excellent value for the rich historical and visual experience on offer. Visitors consistently praise the well-maintained state of the castle and the informative signage provided in multiple languages, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the site's multifaceted past. The distinct character of the castle's two main sections, the older Castell Menor and the later Castell Major, provides a diverse exploration experience, each offering unique perspectives and architectural nuances. Several reviewers specifically mention the enchanting sight of the castle illuminated against the night sky, adding another layer of allure to this historical gem. The ascent from the town itself is often described as an interesting prelude to the main attraction, with opportunities to observe the remnants of old churches and other historical structures along the way. The castle's intriguing history as a former prison, coupled with its connections to prominent historical figures such as the infamous Borgia family, further enriches the visitor experience. Adding to the convenience and enjoyment, the presence of a cafeteria at the castle allows visitors to relax and savor refreshments while soaking in the stunning scenery. While some reviews mention the limited parking at the summit and the uphill walk as potential considerations, the overwhelming sentiment remains that the Castell de Xàtiva is an unmissable destination, offering a captivating blend of history, breathtaking views, and a tangible connection to the past.

Very interesting architecture, almost a mini Sagrada Familia. After visiting the church, it's possible to take a hiking tour in the area. Be aware of the elevation gain, though.

Brilliant and unusual fun. Around 50 windows cut straight into the rock face which were used for centuries as stores or tombs, but more recently have joined together as a kind of 3D labyrinth. You have to haul yourself through holes in the walls, floor and ceiling to explore and find your way out. The steps are narrow metal grates leading to the first window so you need a head for heights, and the journey through the caves is quite narrow and physical so you need a reasonable level of strength and fitness. You have to leave bags and coats at the start; you'll need both hands and practical clothes and shoes. You will get a bit dusty. We saw a couple of small (7-8 years) children - they needed a leg up through the ceiling holes but were fine otherwise.

So beautiful! It was á really hot day and we could get in shaddow if we wanted to. A lot of plants, treas, statues and fountains to look at. We also enjoyed seeing the peacocks.

Here at Playa del Acequión, the sea and sand belong to everyone. It feels like a glimpse of the moneyless, open-access future I imagine in my book Waking Up – A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity.

Well organized safari . Worth the money. Was €25 euro per person. Cars follow the guide and he stops and talks about each animal group. Lasts around 2 1/2 hours . You can also walk around an area before the safari gate and view the animals there on foot .

Absolutely amazing medium sized museum, with lot of interactive screens and a lot of prehistoric and Iberic and Roman period of the region. The only fault is that half of the museum explanations isn't translated in English.

A great trip to the top of the castle, with the most amazing views. Cafe and toilets. You may have to queue for the lift up to castle, but it’s well worth the wait. Price for entry was €2.70 ish, but we got in free as ‘seniors’!! There seemed to be less queues to go down in the lift at the Castle level, as I think most people took a toilet break (level 2) so queues were longer there.

Very long beach with many amenities, restaurants, playgrounds and sports facilities. Good connection to Alicante city centre via one of the tram lines. February sea temperature of almost 16° still allow you to swim. Nice for the whole day.

It was a great little trip, boat ride over there. I expected an island with little on there, however, got there to find one half had a few houses Inc little boutique shop and some cafes and restaurants. The other half was the military side, which had interesting facts and ruins from way back, lovely cliff walking and beautiful stoney beaches. We spent approx 3 hours there, took a picnic, bin are there to dispose of rubbish, and a loo opposite the beach, you could definatly spend longer by going swimming etc, overall a wonderful day out.

Loved this place 30+ years ago when I took my 3 children. This year we went back and took my now adult children plus my 3 young grandchildren. I was still amazed by it and so where they. Its such a lovely place. I remember going on that oldest wooden roller coaster 30+ years ago so its quite sad its not not in use now. This place is very different and great place to get fab photos especially in all the different country themes.

Playground for children and a gym for adults. Right by the Poniente beach with toilets and cafes nearby.. Not really a park in the conventional sense so dog walkers should perhaps stick to the promenade but a great space for children and keep fit folk.

Very hot, very clean. It can rain but we need that. It soon clears up

We hired both apartments with connecting door, lovely and spacious clean and well equipped. Good wheelchair access in downstairs apartment. Would definitely stay here again, I would try all beds as I like a soft mattress.
