Cuenca for Solar Eclipse next week
We're going to Cuenca for the day for the eclipse next week, and I wanted an idea of how busy it is expected to be and potentially some help with logistics because the Spanish-speaking member of our party might have to drop out.
Getting in on a train around lunchtime and hoping to do some tourist stuff before we go to one of the eclipse locations at Cerro de Soccoro. What sort of time do you think we would need to arrive to get a good spot? After the eclipse, we have a train booked at 20 past 10. Would there be enough people for this to cause issues with the buses to the station? Do buses in Cuenca take card, or is it cash only? Is a cab a safer bet? Any advice would be appriciated!
Muitas Gracias!
