Hanging city of Cuenca, Spain

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

New AirVuz contributor gaguilar brings us this excellent drone video of the "hanging city" of Cuenca, Spain.  So called because the city is perched on a gorges overlooking the Júcar and Huécar Rivers in the Castilla–La Mancha Region near the middle of the country.  The city was first settled in the 8th century AD when Muslim forces constructed a fortress here to defend what they recognized was a highly strategic location.  The city came to occupy an important position during the centuries long re-conquest of Spain by Christian forces.
