Getting lost in Cuenca

Hola! As always im getting lazy to write here, but im trying to do my bet :) so, so, so, on my way from madrid to valencia i decided to visit one small tawn, that is situated right between this cities. Way there was quite tricky: to go there from madrid you can take both train and bus, but you have to buy tickets in advance, because when i came to the bus station the first bus was sold out. But what is even more hard is to get out of there: last bus leaves at 4 pm, so if you want to stay there longer you have to take tain, but thre are very few ofthem :)
Well, what place did i visit? Cuenca! It is famous for its houses that are built on the edge of mountains. What can i say? This place s amazing! Architecture, nature - so beautiful, so old! And what is really important for me there are almost no turists. For this place you dont need more than 4 hours (untill you want to go camping). Once you are there dont miss the pasteleria close to the bus and train station: it is the most famous place here, you can get very good sweets or empanadas there for really good price. 
The main attraction here is its 'falling houses' that are really magnificent! Actually i really cant imagine how and why did people build it in 16-17 centuries. Also i cant help writing about main cathedral - it is a bit messy, like it is built out from different buildings, but it doesn't make it less beautiful.  What else? Just dont miss this place, and dont use car there, you can see muuuuuuch mire just walking around, and place isnt that big (but it didn't prevent me from getting lost, but because of it i saw very nice district of Cuenca :)
Next stop - Valencia!
