Puzzle of Cuenca, Spain

I expect it was a bit difficult to do, with all that brick work. Having only 100 pieces would make it easier though. Hope you enjoyed doing it, that’s the main thing.

Interesting puzzle Balcony. If the colours are sorted then it's a lot easier to work at. I sort out the colours for Gerry, and when it gets difficult then I sort out the shapes for him.
Gerry gets some puzzles lent to him from the church and he buys some from the Helicopter rescue Ambulance shop. He's just got a 2000-piece one to do, so I'm hoping it's going to fit on our table.......If not he'll have to do it in two halves...LOL!

Thanks FeverFew, as our granddaughter (11) helped it was done in half an hour! As I was taught to start with the edges or outside pieces I try to inculcate it into our grandkids but they still mostly start joining up pieces willy-nilly! 😆

I always start with the outside edges first then I will often sort out the pieces into colours or perhaps the main subject of the puzzle (if there is one!).

The puzzle shows some of the houses in the street where my wife lived with her family for about 20 years till we got married.

On the street side of the road the houses are 3,4,5 stories high but on the other side they are build down a cliff face & from that side may be 10 stories high! My wife's flat was on the first floor on the street side but on the back side it was 4 or 5 floors from below. But then to the valley floor there's a height of another 5 0r 6 floors but no houses. I must find a photo of the 2 sides of the houses so you can see what I mean.

That sounds a bit scary to live on the edge side Balcony. I love the different building colours. There is a place, I think it's in Cornwall, but I'm not sure, where all the houses are different colours.
Gerry does the edges first too.

Not scary at all, Lindak! Most of those houses have been standing there for 5/600 years! My wife lived in one for 20 years, till she married me almost 50 years ago! As a family with 3 small kids we lived in one right next door to her parents' house for at least 6 months - back in 1982/3!

The ground must be exceptionally stable there. I saw a programme on the television the other night, where the lady presenter travels around, and she went to a place where the houses were like the ones you lived in.

It is stable, it's at the end of a chain of high hills, I don't think any of them can be called "mountains". A great many of the "skyscrapers" have been there several hundred years! A little way up from her house there is one house where you can go in at the front door & down about 10 floors & come out not very far from the bottom of the valley!

Amazing, Balcony. That was very interesting.
