El Provencio

Village

El Provencio is a small town and municipality in Cuenca, Spain with a population of 2,367 permanent inhabitants (2022 estimate). It has kept much of its medieval heritage and is on the newly planted trail that marks the route followed by the title character of Miguel de Cervantes's novel Don Quixote. El Provencio sits in the extreme southern area of Cuenca, bordering both Albacete and Ciudad Real. The major highway linking the town to the rest of Spain is the National 301 Madrid - Cartagena, and it is about 81 kilometers south of the city of Cuenca.
