2Cuenca, Spain

Cuenca is a historic Spanish town perched on the cliffs between two river gorges. Known for its casas colgadas, or “hanging houses,” Cuenca’s homes seem to hover over the cliff’s edge, creating a remarkable visual.

These ancient houses are a testament to medieval architecture and ingenuity. Today, some have been transformed into art galleries and museums. Cuenca’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes narrow streets, a beautiful cathedral, and spectacular views from the edge of the gorge.
