May 17, 2024: In the afternoon, we traveled to the Walled City of Cuenca, which is a UNESCO site. We met our tour guide, Diego Alvarez Martinez, at the Parador de Cuenca. We walked across the San Pablo Bridge to the walled city. Once across the bridge, we come upon the famous Hanging Houses of Cuenca. There used to be many of these hanging houses, but now, only three remain. We then walk over to the Cathedral of Cueca, which is notable for its Gothic, Romanesque, and Neo-Gothic architecture. From there, we visit the Mangana Tower and the Cerro del Socorro for views of the town. The Cerro is on the top of the Hoz del Huécar and there lies a large statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
