There are many things we will miss, and a few we will not....
We will miss our view of the beautiful blue domes of the Cathedral
We could see them from our window.
Our walks to town every day became a habit that we looked forward to. Our one real outing each day. (for the last couple of weeks anyway). The streets are cobble stone - looks nice, but not that easy to walk on.
Then of course there is the traffic. We will not miss that!! Every street is a bus route, so there is a lot of air and noise pollution. There is good and bad to living downtown!
We enjoyed the square in El Centro -Parque de Calderon.
And our walks along the Tomebamba River....
The wonderful old buildings....
The Flower Market - such wonderful scents as we walked by....
The Open Markets - there are two in the downtown area. A great place to buy fresh.... everything! Fruit, veggies and meat.
Then let's not forget the bakeries! There are bakeries everywhere! Just about on every street. The aroma from these bakeries make it hard to just walk by.
There are basic bakeries that sell bread and buns, cakes and sweet things, and then there are these "elaborate" bakeries I call them. Beautiful cakes and stuff you 'almost' feel guilty cutting!
So all that being said and done, there are many more positives than negatives about Cuenca, however, it is a little too big for us. We're more the small town kind of people, so a place outside of Cuenca would be more to our liking!
We'll remember that for next time.......
