What to see in Mariana
You get here from Cuenca on the CM-2105, the regional road that passes through Mariana on the way to Villalba de la Sierra and the Serranía. If you come by train, the high-speed station Cuenca-Fernando Zóbel, on the Madrid–Levante line, has trains to Madrid and Valencia. It is on the outskirts of the city and urban bus line 10 links it with the centre; from there to Mariana you will need a car or taxi.
Who it suits
It suits you if you want to visit Cuenca and sleep outside the city, with the old town a short drive away. It also works if your trip continues into the Serranía de Cuenca on the CM-2105: Mariana lies on the way to Villalba de la Sierra and the Júcar valley. Without a car, it will be more practical to stay in the capital.
