Travel Guide

Sunrise at Mirador de la Hoz, Cuenca. Driving through the heart of Cuenca town, passing the Cathedral on your right, you continue up the road that your head says 'Are you sure we can do this?' This view opens up. Be aware that people will camp for this view and the gorge will end in your demise if you take a step too far but.... boy is it worth it. August... an ungodly hour but back in time for an early breakfast.

Loved seeing the Hanging Houses of Cuenca, Spain. They just seem suspended in the air.

Another view of the hanging houses.
Hanging houses, meaning balconies over a very large drop, no thanks!

The town is beautiful but not tourist friendly even when you speak the language. Our arranged tour guide did not show up. The paradore was not helpful when asked for information. There are buses up the hill and many restaurants.
