With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Alarcon, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Castillo de Alarcon, Sendero Hoz de Alarcon and Santa Maria Church. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Cuenca, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Hanging Houses of Cuenca. (But we’d also highly recommend Cuenca Cathedral and Museum of Spanish Abstract Art.)
