Where to start

Anywhere you choose: this is a long-distance trail entering Cuenca from the north at Peralejos de las Truchas, in the Alto Tajo Natural Park, and crossing it to leave through Iniesta towards Albacete.

The route

In the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park it crosses pine, Portuguese-oak and juniper forests, parameras, high open limestone plateaux, and gorges. Sector A enters from Santa María del Val to Tragacete (15.1 km within the Park); sector B, from Tragacete to Uña, lies entirely within the Park (35.4 km), and sector C leaves Uña for the southern boundary at Valdecabras (7.6 km). Further south, sector D follows the Cabriel, linking its valley villages, including Víllora, among vegetable gardens, vines, almond trees, olives and pine woods.

Difficulty and time

The Park guide rates it moderate. It is walked in stages.

Before you set out

In October 2026 the Senderos de Cuenca register listed GR 66 as «Baja temporal» (temporarily withdrawn): a continuous through-route is not guaranteed. Check each section’s status before planning.

In winter there may be snow on the parameras. Take water for the whole stage.
