What cannot be seen in the countryside

Lo Hueco was excavated and moved: nothing remains on the ground. The Fuentes centre tells its story in the former town hall in Plaza de la Constitución, with two rooms of replica finds and an audiovisual room about the discovery.

Epi and the route

A village park has a replica of Epi, a titanosaur. Fuentes has its own Ruta de los Dinosaurios. Lo Hueco and Las Hoyas make Cuenca one of Europe’s provinces with the most important dinosaur sites.
