CUENCA
Cuenca is a historic Moorish town sitting astride a steeply sided spur which drops abruptly on either side into the deep gorges of the rio Júcar and Huécar. The 12th century Gothic cathedral dominates this town of narrow winding streets.

The other major attraction are the hanging houses. These have been built clinging to the side of the cliff and in some cases with balconies protruding out . The occupants of these houses must put great faith in the quality of
workmanship that went into these buildings, any balcony collapse would mean certain death. Cuenca is full of historic buildings, beautiful squares and park areas. The tourist industry has now latched on to the potential of Cuenca and it has succumbed to the usual paraphernalia of souvenir shops.
Having said that it is still well worth a visit. |
