Cuenca is a city located in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, in central Spain. Its old city possesses remarkable architectural and cultural heritage, earning it the nickname "the city of hundred churches". Instead of traditional skyscrapers, the old city is dominated by numerous medieval towers and churches, as well as historic Spanish homes. Cuenca is home to some of the best examples of Gothic architecture in the region, including the Cathedral of Cuenca, the 18th century San Pablo Church and the famous Hanging Houses overlooking the Huécar river. Architectural gems such as the San Pablo Convent and the Casas Colgadas make for beautiful day trips for travelers and photographers alike, as does the nearby Júcar Gorge with its awe-inspiring views. Cuenca is a popular destination for those looking to escape or explore the Spanish countryside, and its picturesque streets, vibrant festivals and traditional tapas will surprise and delight its visitors.
