Una plaza con una forma muy extraña donde encontrarás la catedral de obligatoria visita y bares y tiendas de souvenirs

La Plaza donde todo converge el centro histórico. De norte a sur. Ir de un extremo a otro. Recuerda que alli llega el autobús. Tienes restaurantes en ayuntamiento la iglesia ⛪️. Ten cuidado al cruzar la calle. Allí también se toma el tren turístico.

Lo que no veo lógico es pagar 5,50€ por pagar para ver la catedral de la plaza de Cuenca cuando antes era gratuita a este paso nos vamos hacer ateos y en cuanto a la plaza en si es normal sin grandes lujos
