Is Cuenca Day-Trip worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

A dramatic, underrated escape: medieval houses cling to the edge of a ravine, with a fine abstract-art museum inside them and gorge-spanning footbridges. The catch is it's farther and pricier to reach, the AVE station is outside town, and it's a niche pick best for those who've already done Toledo and Segovia.
