TRANSPORT

The José Luis Perales Theatre-Auditorium is located in the Paseo del Huécar area, a pedestrian zone next to the river, with views of the iconic hanging houses and the city’s most emblematic buildings, where the majesty of its medieval old town can be appreciated.

The Seminary Guesthouse is located in the heart of Cuenca’s historic center, near the Plaza Mayor—a key meeting point filled with unusually beautiful baroque structures, such as the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Julian.

The most direct access from major national and international cities is via Madrid, located 169 km away—just 1 hour and 40 minutes by car, a little over 1 hour by high-speed train (AVE), and 2 hours and 30 minutes by bus (Avanza).
