Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Casas Colgadas means "hanging houses" in Spanish. As a matter of fact, it is not the houses themselves, firmly standing on the rock, that are hanging, but their balconies. In addition, not all the balconies hang, but large, cantilevered ones, creating the illusion that now both they and the houses themselves will collapse into the Huekar River gorge. Today, only three houses remain: the Casa de la Sirena and the two Houses of the Kings, built between the 13th and 15th centuries. In general, in tourism, the effect of something falling in the Continuous, but never falling in the Perfect, works very well. How many centuries has the famous tower of Pisa fallen? Casas Colgadas also worked for the glory and welfare of Cuenca. Together with the cathedral, they were the main triggers for Cuenca's inclusion in the coveted World Heritage List.

The houses really hang over the gorge where the river flows. Very beautiful in the dark when the lights are on inside.
It's a 10-minute walk from downtown and Cathedral. It is possible to go inside, but little remains of the former living quarters.
Museum of Abstract Art to his great lover.

Just three houses make up the C14th Casas Colgades - perched on top of the cliff edge that marks the old Cuenca. But there are many other building remarkably built on the edge of the cliff. The three houses are now a restaurant and the excellent Museo de Arte Abstracto Espanol (free entry). If you are staying at the Parador you can’t miss these houses as you walk into the old town

It's really beautiful. The whole town is picturesque. The transportation is also convenient and the sightseeing buses can take you to major attractions. You can stay as long as you want with the hop-on hop-off transportation. You can feel like a local and visit the roadside cafes. Have a cup of fragrant coffee and watch the crowds of people coming and going. It’s very charming, Euler! The Spanish greeting is very warm

They are a great sight, almost balancing on the sheer rock face.
Best views are from the terrific Puente de San Pablo.
Although very much reduced in their number compared to the past when the edge was lined with such abodes, what’s here is definitely worth checking out and gazing at.

The truth is that almost the entire old town is hanging. Sticking only to the houses that can be seen from the San Pablo Bridge is a mistake.
All the houses, official buildings, the parador are literally hanging.
Awesome.
And then they have a lot of routes that are worth it.

Interesting thing to take a look. Other than taking photo of the only 3 hanging houses left, one can cross a hanging bridge but as it was raining heavily and my friend did not have her raincoat/umbrella, thus we walked only halfway and ran back. There were few shops and also alleys to explore.

Definitely a must see if you’re on a road trip in Spain. If you hv the time n love nature stay over. This is one place that I will always have the images embedded in my memory till I leave this earth. It seals my believe that this is one of God’s wonders. The view, the wind, the peace that one feels when you have this view n vastness in front of you cannot be described in words. It’s a must see just like one must see the Grand Canyon to experience that awesomeness in your life. I count my blessings that this is one of those places in my life where it takes my breath away n I am blessed to hv experiences it. If you are doing a road trip around Spain, this is a must. Forget about Fuente Dé cable car, an interesting narrow mountain drive that had lots of small towns but an anti climax when you reach the cable car station after such a long drive. Anyone who has anything to ask or share on road trips in Spain do not hesitate to ask. Did not drive in Barcelona. I drove fr San Sebastián to Bilbao, Gijon n A Coruna n Vigo. From Vigo I took the train across to Portugal. From Madrid I started my drive again to Valencia n Seville n back to Madrid before coming home. Also drove from Glasgow to London if anyone needs any info on this as well don’t hesitate to ask. Safe n happy travels everyone

The views from either side of Cuidad Alta are excellent. There are many vantage points to see the Cuenca's starr attractions so walk around the city to find the best views.

Amazing how people live in these homes perched on the edge of a cliff, what beautiful views they would have.
