Leaving from Talavera y La Jara
Talavera de la Reina is the province's second city and the hub of a wide area stretching to the Sierra de San Vicente and La Jara. It has its own hospital and a conventional railway station but no high-speed rail, so the AVE means going to Toledo or Madrid, as do most specialist appointments.
Which way it goes
To the south, the N-401 leads to Ciudad Real and its high-speed station with links to Andalusia; to the west, the A-5 connects Talavera with Extremadura, and the N-502 crosses the mountains towards Ávila. Cuenca and Guadalajara are better reached by skirting Madrid on the M-50 or taking the AP-36 than by crossing the province.
Cuenca, seen from Toledo
There is no direct train between Toledo and Cuenca, nor a motorway joining them in a straight line: the route is the AP-36 or round Madrid via the A-3. A car saves changing in Madrid.
On arrival: Cuenca y la Serranía
Cuenca city, above the gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers, is the gateway to the Serranía, a mountain area of pine forests and small villages stretching towards Teruel and Guadalajara. The city holds the hospital, the high-speed station and public offices, and gets tourists all year round.
Tip: For the Toledo AVE, allow a few minutes of queueing to get into the station in the morning peak.
