Cuenca displays an unequalled environment, where
the beauty of the landscapes invites you to take photographs and enjoy nature
in its purest form.
RUNNING
Running in Cuenca means enjoying sport and nature at the same time, either by doing it through the Huécar sickle with its beautiful views, the picturesqueness of its landscape or through the various paths and its impressive views from the city.
CLIMBING
Less than 2 kilometers away
from the city center you can visit a wonderful place called "Recreo
Peral", where you can practice climbing in the "Hoz of the
Jucar".
On Saturdays, famous climbers
come to practice this sport and they can often be seen climbing high rocks.
4 kilometers away, there is
also another place, called "Las Grajas", used for climbing. Many
times, we can see climbers wearing very colorful equipment, so that they
can be seen from very far away.
It is a very hard sport
because it is very demanding and a lot of preparation is needed.
In 2021, climbing will be an olympic
sport for the first time, in Tokyo, where the Olympic Games will
take place.
CYCLING
“Rueda libre” is formed
by a group of cycling lovers’ friends. They schedule outings and participate
in cycling events.
The
cycling club is based in San Antón neighborhood.
Every
start of the season, they do the traditional climb to the "Ciudad Encantada",
enjoying a spectacular landscape on a cold day.
The club organizes routes around the attractive and natural scenery.
HIKING
Autumn is an ideal
season to practice trekking in Cuenca. You can discover the mountains
and enjoy its two famous rivers: Júcar and Huecar.
Hiking is a sport that
takes place in open spaces and in contact with nature.
This outdoor
sport allows you to see different places with a lot of vegetation.
While you practice it, you can enjoy a wonderful natural environment, that means, you do exercise and at the same a time endorphins are generated. You will be so happy when you finish!
