The visit to the city is enjoyable and told with grace and knowledge, at no time is it past and you enjoy much with what you are told. Despite the "peculiar" relief of the city, the circuit chosen by Mirando pa Cuenca is light and never gets tired. In addition, the visit to the cathedral is worth listening to all the details that escape if you visit without someone with the good knowledge and make this great agency.
Muy buenas! Efectivamente, nuestros itinerarios están ideados para disfrutar si mucho esfuerzo de la maravillosa adecuación paisajística de la ciudad. La catedral es una gran desconocida como muchísima historia y tesoros, que nosotros tratamos de divulgar. Un afectuoso saludo
Pablo Huertas offered us a great starting point to get to know the old town, with useful tips to extend the visit. The guided tour of the Cathedral is essential, it is incredible both the continent and the content.
