This beautiful hut in the photo is not at the indicated spot. To reach the indicated spot, you have to travel along a path much used by motorcyclists, but which is a real complication for cycling, even more so for cycle touring with panniers. It would be convenient, as there are over 200 huts cataloged in the area, that this spot was adequately signposted.

The Henchidero Bridge is located near Alarcón (Cuenca), within the Hoces del Júcar natural area. It is a historic bridge that crosses the Júcar River downstream from the Alarcón Reservoir, very close to the small Henchidero Dam, which regulates the flow in this area. It is on the PR-CU71 "From Bridge to Bridge..." route, which connects the Picazo Bridge with the Henchidero Bridge, following the course of the Júcar River.

The Parador de Alarcón is an impressive hotel located in a medieval castle with more than 13 centuries of history. Located on top of one of the gorges of the Júcar River, it offers privileged views of the area. This castle, considered one of the best preserved in the province of Cuenca, combines modern and classic styles in its interior, maintaining its medieval character.🏰🚶😎

Worthy of wonderful cinematographic shots, Alarcón Castle has risen majestically since the 8th century on a spectacular gorge of the Júcar River. This fortress has been the subject of several interventions over the centuries by the cultures that have occupied it. It currently acts as a national tourist stop.
