Cuenca, Spain

Have you heard of the Casas Colgadas or the Hanging house in Spain? It's located in Cuenca which is about 170km from Madrid. Currently, the Hanging house is an Art Museum. 

We have visited this small city about three years back but did not stay over night. Therefore, this time we decided to spend a night and revisit the Enchanted city (Ciudad Encantada) the next day.

Below is the Enchanted City. The rocks are said to have formed about 90 million years ago. Due to the weather, the rocks eroded and formed in many different shapes such as the Bears, the Lovers, the Turtle and many more up to one's imagination.
