What is the best way to get to Cuenca from Madrid? I have heard if we go by train, we would still have to take a bus from the train station to the town. Thanks, Gladys M Mendez

There are AVE, Alvia, Avlo and Avant trains on that route that take only a bit over an hour. Yes, the Fernando Zobel train station where those trains stop is outside town. There is some bus service from the station into town, but I don't know what the schedule looks like. Those buses may terminate in the lower, modern part of town. You might prefer to stay in the historic upper town, and you'd need some form of transportation to avoid walking up the hill.
I'd expect to find taxis waiting at the Fernando Zobel station, but it would be prudent to have some phone numbers at hand, just in case. Just Google taxis Cuenca Spain. (You don't want taxis in Ecuador.)
