When the Iberian peninsula was part of the Roman Empire, there were several important settlements in the province, such as Segobriga, Ercavica and Gran Valeria. However, the place where Cuenca is located today was uninhabited at that time. When the Muslims captured the area in 714, they soon realized the value of this strategic location and they built a fortress (called Kunka) between two gorges dug between the Júcar and Huécar rivers, surrounded by a 1 km-long wall. Cuenca soon became an agricultural and textile manufacturing city, enjoying growing prosperity.

Situated on the left of the mouth of the Guadalquivir river and opposite Doñana, the origins of the first settlement came about because of the building of a Phoenician temple dedicated to Astarté.

The famous Horse Races (International Tourist Interest) take place on the beaches of this town, which were originally started by the aristocracy and bourgeoisie of 19th century Sanlúcar, who were keen to liven up the town’s social life during the summer season.

"En el Valle Medio del Lozoya, se alza Buitrago sobre un promontorio circundado por el río Lozoya del que toma parte de su nombre, barrera natural para una población que se sitúa a los pies del puerto de Somosierra y a unos 75 km al norte de la ciudad de Madrid. Destaca por la muralla medieval tan musulmana como castellana y cristiana, que rodea su casco histórico y es a su vez rodeada por el río Lozoya. Su Castillo o Alcázar junto a la Iglesia de Santa María del Castillo, la Torre del Reloj y la muralla confieren un aire medieval a este municipio, que presume de una agenda cultural tan activa que tiene propuestas para las cuatro estaciones."
