Cuenca
 
 

The gorge at Cuenca. Most of the town is back to the left.
 
 

Footbridge across the gorge. It's not very high, but some are a little hesitant to cross. The building in the background is a Parador, an hotel owned by the government. They are usually located in the most attractive towns to visit, and are often in old castles or monasteries. This one has a spectacular view up and down the valley.
 
 

These are the Casas Colgadas or hanging houses. Taken from the footbridge, this is the signature feature of Cuenca.
 
 

The Catedral at Cuenca taken from the Plaza Mayor. The lady in the pink jacket on the steps is "la jefa", or "the boss".
 
 

Little old lady watching the goings-on in la Plaza Mayor de Cuenca.
