With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Cuenca, 30 miles away, has to offer. Hanging Houses of Cuenca, Cuenca Cathedral and Museum of Spanish Abstract Art alone justify the drive. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Pastrana, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Parque Arqueológico de Recópolis. (But we’re also big fans of Pastrana Palacio Ducal and Museo Ciencias Naturales y Teresiano.)
