Tips from locals
Cuenca’s colorful flower market is located in a prime setting, right next to the New Cathedral. It provides a picturesque backdrop to this plaza that’s filled with dozens of flower vendors. Known locally as the Mercado de las Flores, it’s well worth stopping in the open-air square to admire all the beautiful arrangements for sale.
At one end of the flower market, there’s a window offering a mysterious flower-based drink known as Agua de Pitimas. This flowery water concoction is made by nuns who live in complete seclusion inside adjoining monastery They formulate this pink drink with a secret recipe that’s been passed down for decades. It uses dozens of flowers and herbs.
In front of this Market the "Divino Niño"awaits in the Church of El Carmen de la Asuncion. Don't forget to Google about it
