The city where I was born


Cuenca is currently considered one of the best cities to live in Ecuador. This city has excellent attributes that are even looked up to internationally. But the great treasure that really keeps this city is the people who live in it who are friendly and the atmosphere is overwhelming for the tranquility you can feel when living in that city. Nowadays Cuenca is very much desired by tourists. It is the most colorful and joyful city to go to. Even a famous singer like Sebastian Yaltra said he would love to live in this beautiful city. So let's start talking about the many charms that make this city unique. 

Cuenca has good gastronomy and unique traditions that make it live even more.  In culinary art, we can find several dishes in the different parishes that encompass this city. But the one worth mentioning is the famous dish called "Cuy con papas". An exquisite and delicious dish, but also very traditional that has existed for generations. On the other hand, the festivities of the city are celebrated with the election of the "Chola Cuencana". This contest is autochthonous and is celebrated every November 3rd. 

Cuenca has a good historical structure and different places that year after year many tourists who visit the city fall in love with. The original and avant-garde infrastructure is what makes this city more attractive. Being in this place makes you feel like in Spain because it has a similar infrastructure. A curious fact is that most of the materials for the construction were brought from the previous city mentioned in honor of that today Cuenca is called honor a city in Spain. On the other hand in Cuenca, we can see decorated streets, churches, squares, and museums that allow us to know a step more about this city. At the moment Cuenca has totally new parks that embellish even more the city of Cuenca with green spaces. 

For all these reasons and many more Cuenca is the most famous city. However, tourists cannot communicate well with the locals because although Cuenca is visited by many tourists in the field mastering other languages is a big problem. But this information is not very accurate because there are tour guides to help tourists who can guide them during their stay in the city.
