Eyes on Cuenca

The blue eyes looking down on the streets of Cuenca, pay homage to an ancient legend of forbidden love.

The Eagle’s Nest

Midway between Madrid and València is Cuenca, perched precariously on the edge of a steep 3,100 foot gorge.

We have spent months in València over the past 2½ years and this city continues to surprise and delight us.

Alboraya is a charming small town just 5 miles from València and is known as the “Land of Horchata”.

Gandía was settled by Greeks in the 6th century, Moors in the 8th-13th centuries and the Spanish since 1252.

Our planned 10-day visit to Playa de Gandía, due to Covid-19 coronavirus, turned into a 10-week lockdown.

Breathing in the ambrosial scented orange blossoms that perfume the air in València, is intoxicating.

Author George Orwell made famous this curious saying: “Tomorrow we’ll have coffee in Huesca.”

An interesting and eclectic mix of museums were waiting for us to discover and savor in Zaragoza.

Our travels in 2019 found us exploring cities and towns from Alicante to Zaragoza and everywhere in between.
