The flight from Atlanta to Madrid is a direct and easy eight hour flight, and it arrived right on time. We had three hours to get to the Chamartin Train station from the airport to catch the train to Cuenca. But a lack of careful planning on our part, and a series of missteps caused us to nearly miss the train. We made it with 3 minutes to spare! The train station in Cuenca is sleek, welcoming and beautiful.
The terrain here is rugged and rocky. For a small city, there is quite a lot to explore. We’re staying at Posada de San Jose in the older section of town. The Old Town, where we’re staying is high above the newer part of the city, and quite a climb, unless you take the bus.
The hotel is quirky and the Internet weak, so we won’t be able to add many photos until we get better bandwidth. We’re happy here and all is well.
Sending best wishes from sunny Spain!
