You smell pine and cold stone before the first view . There is Cuenca , in central Spain , built onto the face of a limestone cliff . The houses here are very old . Some of them hang over a gorge . They have no ground under their front windows . Only air and a drop of 40 metres to the river below . You can walk across the San Pablo Bridge to get the best view . It is a small iron footbridge . Stand in the middle and look up . The coloured wooden balconies reach out from the rock . They look like they should fall , but they have stood for hundreds of years . The old town sits inside a loop of two rivers : the Júcar and the Huécar . Both cut deep into the rock long ago . The streets are narrow and steep . Some are more staircase than road . You can climb to the top in about 30 minutes . The city became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 . Not many people visit compared to Madrid or Barcelona . On a quiet morning , you can stand on the cliff edge . Almost no one else is beside you . Take that moment home with you .
