🇪🇨 Cuenca Travel Guide: A Hidden Gem with a Cathedral Rivaling

✨ Cathedral of Cuenca: Light & Shadow Masterpiece Why visit? The play of sunlight through its windows rivals Barcelona’s Sagrada Família—but with zero crowds! Entry: €5.50 (includes audio guide). Pro tip: Arrive before noon for magical morning light streaming through the southeast windows. Hidden perk: A secluded courtyard offers cliffside views over the gorge. 🏰 Top Sights 1️⃣ Hanging Houses (Casas Colgadas) Now a free modern art museum. Fun fact: These cliffside homes inspired Game of Thrones’ Eyrie! 2️⃣ San Pablo Bridge 🌉 Adrenaline alert! Narrow and high—cyclists even cross it. Not for the faint-hearted. 3️⃣ Plaza Mayor Lined with affordable lunch spots (€10-15 menus). Try morteruelo (local game stew). 🚗 Practical Tips Drive-friendly: Secure underground parking below the Hanging Houses (attended, no break-in worries). From Madrid/Toledo: Just 2 hours by car. #Cuenca #Spain #HiddenGems #CathedralLovers
