Cuenca: came for the hanging houses, wanted to stay for the museums - Jesus was my guide for the day and it couldn’t have turned out better: we inadvertently arrived on the day where the town celebrates San Mateo. So not only did we get to see the famous “hanging houses” and “skyscrapers” but the buzzing atmosphere to celebrate their saint created a memorable experience. It’s a perfect day trip from Madrid but I’ll definitely be back as there are 10 museums to visit!

Breathtaking Cuenca - The trip was very well organized. Meeting point in Madrid was easily accessible by metro. We visited two places: Enchanted City and medieval town of Cuenca. Both beautiful. The guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Pace of the tour was adequate for even the elderly. Cuenca is just unique and breathtaking. Highly recommend Cuenqueando.
