Holiday apartment in Huélamo: hiking trails, castle and festivals

Huélamo can be explored from the town centre along the P.N.S.C.-S05 Subida al Castillo de Huélamo hiking trail. The trail begins at Plaza del Obispo, leads through the town’s streets to Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church and then climbs to Huélamo Castle.

Nature

The P.N.S.C.-07 Ruta del Masegar PR-CU07 is located in the municipality of Huélamo. It is a 9.80-kilometre circular hiking trail and also an interpretive circular trail. Its route passes through pine forests, holm oak forests and remnants of Eurosiberian flora. Along the way, the Ruta del Masegar offers views over the Júcar Valley.

The starting point of the Ruta del Masegar is on the CM-2105 road at kilometre 55.5, a few metres from the turn-off to Huélamo. Another route is PR-CU 29 Ceñajos de Los Calatrava y Peña Rubia, a 13-kilometre circular hiking trail and interpretive circular trail in the municipality of Huélamo. The different lengths give you a clear way to compare the scope of a day’s hike and adapt your plans to your own timeframe.

The third stage of the Camino Natural del Júcar begins at the entrance to Huélamo. It reaches the Mirador de Huélamo, which offers views of the town and the landscape of the Serranía de Cuenca. From around kilometre 8, this stage runs parallel to the Cordel de Huélamo and the Júcar River until the continuation of the stage.

Culture

Traditional stone houses have been preserved in Huélamo’s historic centre, adapted to the topography and high-mountain climate. A fixed date in the annual calendar is the Jornadas de los Tercios in honour of Julián Romero, which takes place in Huélamo every year for one week in August.

Huélamo’s patron-saint festivities in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary take place on the first Sunday in September. Los Cargos are the focal point of these patron-saint festivities.

A traditional recipe is also part of the town’s character: Maimones is a traditional Spanish dish that, in its Manchegan version, is prepared as a dry dish made from potatoes, water and stale bread, and is part of Huélamo’s traditional culinary offerings.
