Serranía de Cuenca, Mountain chain in Cuenca Province and Teruel Province, Spain
The Serranía de Cuenca is a mountain chain that extends through northeastern Cuenca Province and southern Teruel Province. The landscape is shaped by limestone formations, deep ravines, and three major rivers: the Cuervo, Escabas, and Júcar.
The mountain chain contains traces of human settlements from the Paleolithic period. Later, the Romans carried out mining operations to extract precious metals from its mineral-rich deposits.
The region is known for traditional cheese-making and wine cultivation, practices that continue to shape daily life in the area. These crafts are deeply rooted in the local identity and give the landscape its distinctive character.
Marked hiking trails connect different sections of the mountain chain and offer good opportunities for exploration. Information points and rest areas are positioned regularly along the routes to help visitors navigate.
The Ciudad Encantada park displays limestone structures shaped by erosion over thousands of years. These natural formations resemble buildings and various objects, offering visitors a striking geological display.
