Writers and poets have long flourished in arts-oriented Cuenca, the country's third-largest city and the capital of the Azuay province. Cafes and galleries are tucked among the narrow cobblestone streets. The main plaza hosts both the old cathedral, started in 1557, the year the city was founded, and the blue-domed Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, dating to 1885. Locally made Panama hats get top billing at the markets, with centrally located Casa de la Mujer a shopping standout.

I am fan of open markets as they reflect the local cultures. This ranks among the most interesting, colorful, vibrant markets I’ve been. The most eye catching are the variety of fruits and vegetables. And the stalls of roast pigs, which a great for sampling for lunch or take out - crackling skin, very tasty juicy pork! There’s a large pedestrian square in front of the building, which becomes alive late in the afternoon.
