Things to do in Cuenca

Such a fine city only operated for a few decades. After the Spanish arrived, they destroyed and abandoned it. The stones of the buildings in the city were taken away to build churches and houses. In the 1970s, the Ecuadorian authorities began to carry out conservation and archaeological work in the ancient city of Cuenca. Some people also returned the stones and piled them in the city. But many of the ones I saw had holes in them because they were used as foundations for building houses.

The San Pablo Bridge in Cuenca is a very special iron suspension bridge located between two peaks in the ancient city of Cuenca. Only one person is allowed to pass through the abyss below, which is really frightening. Brave friends may wish to come and experience it.

Actually, I missed the meeting point because I didn't pay attention to the ticket instructions; the meeting point wasn't at the palace entrance. I had to buy a separate ticket to get in, but it was definitely worth it. The palace is incredibly luxurious and magnificent, with stunning interiors. It was a truly worthwhile trip.

The good thing about the Prado is that photography isn't allowed, so I can't upload photos of the exhibition halls, but I can upload a picture of the entrance. The classic Las Meninas is still very impressive, and there were many people looking at it. There are also many famous works by Goya, Velázquez, Bosch, and many others. Last time, I visited three floors and countless halls, but I couldn't see everything. It was a visual feast, and I can only marvel at how talented the older generation of European painters were! The paintings are so beautiful!
