Walk across the San Pablo bridge back towards town. Once off the bridge follow the road round and to the left – you will walk under a small archway and you will come to the Abstract Art Museum (located in the Casas Colgadas). Give group 45 mins in the museum then continue to the Plaza Mayor to show the group the Cathedral. As there is now a separate entrance, allow time at the end of the walk for those who want to visit inside. Continue along Julian Romero Street to San Pedro church. If group still has enough energy, continue past the church and through the arch to get an amazing panoramic view. Return to Plaza Mayor and give free time. There are some bars and cafes if the group want to have lunch here. If your group are interested in Roman artefacts, they might want to visit the Museo de Cuenca.
