Right, that’s about the limit of my Spanish. A day of travel, from Valletta to Cuenca. All went smoothly, the steering wheel is on the left again and we are driving on the right (when I remember to) in a brand new VW Polo. Sounds nice, but its unleaded, and gutless! Roads in Spain seem excellent so far, and drivers here are much more conservative and considerate that either Sicily or Malta, so I’m having to make adjustments!
We spent the evening exploring the historic centre of Cuenca with its hanging houses, and dined on tapas in the square. Being Saturday evening, the place was packed, with a great atmosphere. We came here for the old city, but didn’t realise that Cuenca is at the junction of two river gorges, so is very scenic, with walking trails along both gorges, with views of the cliffs above and the river with beautiful trees. The cliffs are weathered into fantastic shapes with lots of lookouts and promontories.

Hi Jeanette,
ReplyDeleteCruz and I had a wonderful time there when Courting. Fabulous bottle of wine..Story later. A good choice for a city to visit. The Pyrenees should be great about now? May? Hope you go. Variable weather is typical of the mountains
Try a village way south near Almeria, but not Almeria itself as it awful, in the mountains or any mountain village really in that vicinity. The south will be warmer and drier I think. Or Valencia for the original Paella's like Eel ?
Thanks for your post card. Love G&C
