From the Meseta to the Levante via the Hoces del Cabriel

A route where the road seems to defy gravity as it winds its way down through the breathtaking Hoces del Cabriel. The road twists and turns through tight bends and past spectacular viewpoints that offer a bird’s-eye view of the “Cuchillos” – sharp rock formations that appear to cut through the sky above the turquoise waters of the River Cabriel. As you cross the historic Lucio del Valle bridge separating Cuenca from Valencia, the drive becomes an immersive experience through tunnels and ravines. It is a stretch of wild beauty where the old national road regains its former glory, offering visitors a direct connection with nature and the thrill of a mountain pass that is now a sanctuary of peace, in contrast to the motorway viaducts.
