Hiking
The Hermitage of San Julián “El Tranquilo” is an iconic place in Cuenca, known for its beauty and serenity. Located in the Hoz del Júcar, it offers a stunning natural setting and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
San Julián, the patron saint of Cuenca, used to retreat to a cave on the Cerro de la Majestad to meditate and make wicker baskets for those in need. This cave was converted into a sanctuary and later into the hermitage that can be visited today. 😎⛪🚶♀️
