The Museo de Arte Abstracto Español is a unique museum dedicated to Spanish abstract art, housed in the famous Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) of Cuenca. These medieval structures cling to a cliff overlooking the Huécar River gorge, providing a dramatic setting for the art within. Visitors can explore a rich collection of works by leading Spanish abstract artists from the mid-20th century, including paintings, sculptures, and drawings. The museum itself is an experience, with its narrow corridors, wooden balconies, and windows framing the natural beauty outside. The juxtaposition of modern art against the ancient architecture and rugged landscape makes this a must-visit for art lovers and travelers seeking something off the beaten path.
