The Enchanted City of Cuenca: Nature’s Stone Masterpiece

Where Nature Becomes Art

Hidden deep within the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, about two hours from Madrid, lies one of Spain’s most extraordinary natural wonders — La Ciudad Encantada (The Enchanted City).

Here, limestone rock formations carved over millions of years by wind, ice, and water create a magical landscape of arches, towers, and figures that seem almost man-made. Every turn in the path reveals a new “sculpture” — from the famous Mushroom Rock to The Dog, The Sea of Stone, and The Lovers.

With Tours From Madrid, you’ll explore these formations in comfort, guided by a knowledgeable local who will reveal the stories, legends, and geology behind this one-of-a-kind place.
