Travel Plog | Singing "Queencard" in Cuenca 🫵

🎵 "Queencard I’m hot… I’m a star star star…" Cuenca is a city of bold contrasts—colorful houses cling to cliffs, rivers carve through bizarre rock formations, and the vibe shifts from "eerily empty" to "tourist-packed plazas". Yet, it’s absolutely worth the trip—especially on a sunny day! ☀️ 🌿 My Route: 1️⃣ Torre de Mangana – The tower itself is meh, but the panoramic views? Worth every step. Watch the landscape morph from emerald forests to golden hills. 2️⃣ Plaza Mayor – Frozen café con leche in hand (seriously, pack a jacket—it’s freezing up here!). 3️⃣ Cuenca Cathedral – Even if you’re cathedral-fatigued, this Gothic gem (with its unfinished facade) will wow you. Photo fails to capture its magic. 4️⃣ Hanging Houses (Casas Colgadas) – Iconic! Peer over the balconies dangling above the abyss. Tea inside? Cute. Surviving the bridge wobbles? Priceless. 5️⃣ San Pablo Bridge – Looks sturdy until you’re white-knuckling the railings. 🚍 Transport Tips: From Madrid: Renfe train: Faster, but drops you far from town (take bus L1 to Plaza Mayor—runs every 30min, hourly on weekends). Avanza bus: Slower, but walks you straight downtown. 💰 Cash only for buses (€2.15)! ❄️ Reality Check: Altitude = CHILLY. We shivered through lunch in Plaza Mayor. Best for road trips! Without a car, you’ll miss hidden gems (we killed just 5 hours here). #Cuenca #MadridDayTrip #HangingHouses #SpainTravel
