The straw Toquilla hat is one of the most used accessories by the Cuencans and also has its own museum, which we will visit to know its origins, the materials for its manufacture and its manufacturing process.

In addition we will know its historical center and we will walk along its Long Street, which throughout history has received different names, being its first name Calle del Usno, during the pre-Hispanic times.

By walking on its streets, we will find more than one hundred stores divided into museums, nightclubs, restaurants and coffee shops that make it one of the busiest places both at day and night. Finally you will be able to enjoy one of its typical meals.
