We will meet at the fountain known as “El Pilón” in Plaza Mayor.
We'll give a presentation so that our guests know exactly what we'll be doing, and then we'll set off on our tour.
We'll head to Plaza de Mangana, an idyllic spot to take in one of the best vantage points in the entire city and also the perfect place to talk about the origins of Cuenca's cuisine, as the three religions coexisted here.
From there, we'll head to the first restaurant stop: Mangana, right in Plaza Mayor, where we'll savor Cuenca's first typical dish: ajoarriero. This typical dish from Cuenca will be paired with a local wine.
After that first experience, the second one awaits us at the Savbia restaurant, where we'll try another of the region's most typical dishes, morteruelo. Paired with white or red wine, this local dish will be accompanied by magnificent views of the Huécar River Gorge, where we can see the Parador de Turismo hotel and the Sacred Heart of Jesus vantage point.
We'll then continue on to Raff San Pedro, a restaurant awarded several Repsol Suns and recommended in the Michelin Guides. This site housed stables until the 19th century, and the 14th-century wall will serve as the perfect backdrop for enjoying a typical dish from Cuenca through the lens of traditional signature cuisine.
When we're done, we'll head down to our final stop, the fourth: the Casa Manzar restaurant. Here, we'll take a tour of the four floors of the restaurant, which was the home of the Cuenca-born composer and singer-songwriter José Luis Perales, who lived there for two decades. The tour of the house will end in the wine cellar, after having enjoyed the beautiful and wonderful views of the Cathedral and another part of the Hoz del Huécar. We'll wrap up this part of the sightseeing tour with local wine and one of the city's typical dishes.
Leaving Casa Manzar, we'll head towards the Júcar Gorge to visually savor the spectacular landscape offered by nature and the mighty River Júcar. We'll head up to the Church of San Pedro, where we'll share some of the history of the church and the castle that once stood behind it, before going down the street of the same name, formerly the main street of the nobility, and ending there with the grand finale: a tasting of resolí, the typical liqueur of Cuenca, and the region's quintessential dessert, alhajú.
