Why is everything always on a hill?

The wedding was surprisingly quiet though there were bursts of music into the early hours. We walked up the step path into the town, with good views of the weather worn rocks lining the gorge. Surprisingly, Cuenca has a science museum with some decent exhibits, including sections on time devices and space travel.




Visiting art galleries is compulsory, even if the art is often somewhat inaccessible. These do resonate somehow.

Lovingly maintained, and it suits the old square.




Cuenca is famous for these old buildings hanging over the cliffs.

All that walking deserves a sit-down.





 
The last supper, but in 3d for a change!


From Cuenca it was on to Toledo where, amongst its notable historic events, Franco gained prestige by relieving a siege of the citadel during the civil war. We had a very handy site on the other side of the river.
