Last Friday, I and a couple of friends visited Cuenca, one of the most small but beautiful cities of Ecuador. For this trip I chose the handsol hat model of the 2014 collection, Levi\u00b4s jeans, Tennis shoes and a pullover from Otavalo. During the weekend the city held two special events, Quitofest and the Orchid Film Festival. With more than 100 local and 50 internacional bands, 80.000 spectators, and 11 years of history, Quitofest is the biggest independent music event of Ecuador. \u00a0On the other hand, the Orchid Film Festival is a launching pad of intercultural exchange for worldwide producers, directors, writers, graphic designers, actors and aspiring students. The arrival of characters of international stature makes the Orchid Film Festival, for filmmakers and Ecuadorians abroad, a great attraction.<\/address>\n
\"JA\"<\/a>We stayed in the Casa Del R\u00edo Hostal, near one an emblematic river of Cuenca, Tomebamba River. The view was pretty; the room was quiet and relaxing. \u00a0We were near Calle Larga (Long Street), where you can find many restaurants, bars and museums.<\/address>\n
\n
At our arrival a friend picked up and invited us to eat tacos. At night, we did tour of the old and modern parts of the city and we ate ice-creams in front of the cathedral.<\/address>\n
On Saturday we took a tour bus, some photos were taken by my boyfriend Jos\u00e9 and my friend Leira. When we arrived to the viewpoint \u201cEl Turi\u201d, the guide offered us a typical beverage \u201ccanelazo\u201d (hot cocktail with cinnamon schnapps), due to the cold weather of Cuenca. We ended up in the stadium Alejandro Serrano Aguilar for the Quitofest.<\/a><\/address>\n
A funny fact is that one of the photographers of Quitofest asked me to take a picture of my outfit, since my hat was drawing everyone\u00b4s attention. That reminded me of the difference between using this lovely hat and not. It was also a good decision, because the sunlight is strong on Ecuadorian highlands.<\/address>\n
\"yopi\"<\/a>On Sunday morning we bought native handicrafts on Calle Larga and also some sweets on Concepta\u00b4s Church. Later we went to the Orchid Film Festival in \u201cCasa de la Cultura\u201d and after watching the movie \u201cBelle \u00c9poque\u201d, we were fortunate enough to meet the Spanish director <\/span>Fernando Trueba.<\/a> The travel was very entertaining and I did a lot of things, but without doubt the best part was sharing this experience with you guys, because it made me enjoy the trip twice!<\/span><\/address>\n
