One of the most popular cities to visit in the Castilla La Mancha region of Spain, Cuenca is located in a precarious position at the point where two deep river gorges meet. Its strategic setting saw it fought over, conquered and ruled by both the Muslims and Christians, with Napoleon himself leaving his mark in the early 1800s.

This makes it fascinating to explore; lots of centuries-old churches, a cathedral, and a castle can be found hidden away among the meandering streets of its medieval old town. While its beautiful buildings are painted in warm hues, vivid colors and daring designs coat the walls of its numerous modern art galleries and museums.

The charming city is particularly noted for its casas colgadas – or hanging houses – which are built over the side of the clifftop upon which Cuenca is perched. Besides being phenomenal feats of engineering, these astounding edifices make for some fantastic photos and are best viewed from the bridge of San Pablo.

Cuenca is a Roman era town situation northwest of Valencia and southeast of Madrid, just an hour from either on the AVE, the fast train.  It is known for the houses perched on the cliffs and for its two rivers, the Júcar and the Huécar which encase it.  The town was first settled by the Moors, who sought to take advantage of its natural fortress qualities.…

I just so desperately want to travel. Of all possible placements, I wanted to be placed in Cuenca, Spain. It’s a smaller town in Spain with the population less than half the size of Madrid. Less tourists! But oh well, Toledo will be just fine. Researching these placement locations for the internship has gotten me to dream again. Dream about how much I have always loved traveling. Dream about all the places I have wanted to travel. Now, I get an opportunity to travel to Spain.
