Ciudad Encantada and Cuenca

Just a short trip over the Montes Universales towards Cuenca.  The scenery continued to be spectacular as we drove along the mountain roads the warning signs regarding deer were correct as they scattered off the road just in front of the van. 

 Huge cliffs surrounded us as we made our way to Ciudad Encantada, an area of unusual eroded limestone rocks.  A small charge of 3E to get into the park was great value for money and you could spend all day wandering amongst theses marvellous wonders of nature.

From here we drove towards Cuenca and spent the night at Camping caravanning Cuenca. In the morning we were directed to a good size car park at the top of the old town of Cuenca. This old town sits on a spur of rock with the gorges of the Jucar and Huecar rivers. From the car park we walked down into the centre.This town is renowned for it's hanging houses built over the rock face.
