14th-century houses literally hanging over a cliff — best viewed from the vertiginous footbridge

Cuenca's most emblematic buildings are these precariously balanced houses that cling to the cliff edge above the Río Huécar gorge. Dating from the 14th century, the most striking is the Casa de la Sirena, which now houses the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español. Best viewed from the footbridge across the gorge — vertigo-inducing and unforgettable.
