Cuenca was a pretty city.
It had republican style architecture instead of the colonial we had seen previously.
There is a large flower market near the Cathedral.
This is where most of our roses are imported from. Here they are 20 for $1.
This arrangement is $5.
The city has four rivers passing through it and this is one of them that we saw on our night walk when we got to town.
This is a quinceanera party. It is kind of the equivalent of a “sweet 16” party, except it’s on the 15th birthday, and looks like (and costs as much) as a wedding ceremony, complete with a giant dress, bridesmaids, and a boyfriend that walks you down the aisle of the church.
Lots of pink, including on the car which was dressed up like a wedding car.
This used to be an old bank, but now it is their city hall. They use lots of pink marble in the city.
There were some ruins in Cuenca in a park by the river but it was all fenced off so we couldn’t get any closer. They looked interesting but no idea what culture they may have been from as several cultures were present in this area.
