    The Hermitage of San Julián “El Tranquilo” is an iconic place in Cuenca, known for its beauty and serenity. Located in the Hoz del Júcar, it offers a stunning natural setting and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
    San Julián, the patron saint of Cuenca, used to retreat to a cave on the Cerro de la Majestad to meditate and make wicker baskets for those in need. This cave was converted into a sanctuary and later into the hermitage that can be visited today. 😎⛪🚶‍♀️

      It is advisable to bring enough water and some food, as the hike can be demanding. Wear comfortable clothing and suitable hiking shoes. Go at a leisurely pace to enjoy the views and the natural surroundings. 😊
