Journey to Cuenca’s rural culture

“A journey back in time in the Serranía de Cuenca”

A journey to the past in one of the most charming villages in the Serranía de Cuenca: Valdemeca. Interpretative route through Valdemeca’s “illustrated landscape”, guided visit to an exquisite ethnographical exposition, and traditional games.

Nature and rural culture are tightly linked, bringing together people inhabiting our villages and environment, and maintaining customs, traditions, and lifestyles based on this linkage with the environment. It is a rich cultural legacy from which we have much to learn, and which needs to be preserved. And what better way to learn about it and preserve it than by a memorable and fun experience in an inspiring setting of incredible beauty in the Natural Park of the Serranía de Cuenca…

With “A journey to Cuenca’s rural culture”, we offer a journey to the past in one of our most charming villages: Valdemeca. Itis a villagewithrich and beautiful natural surroundings, but also with a magical collection of sculptures perfectly integrated in the environment: an “illustrated landscape” of high ethnographical value representing several typical everyday scenes of the rural life in the Serranía de Cuenca. These sculptures are real representations of popular games, traditions and lost professions that were the basis of rural people’s life; they are reminders of the rural culture that should never be lost. But to justofferaninterpretativeroutethroughValdemeca’slandscapewouldnot do it justice. Thus, we complete this journey to the Cuenca’s rural culture by adding a guidedvisit to an exquisite ethnographical exposition in an ancient 15th century artisan’s workshop, which is still in business today.
