On June 21, I went with my friend, Nancy, & a group of other Gringos to Susudel, a town about 2 hours south of Cuenca to tour the biggest roof tile factory in the country, see some weavers who make beautiful rugs, wall hangings, etc. and visit an organic farm.
Surprisingly, the roof tile factory was the most interesting of the 3 places we visited.

The women who do the weaving work very hard & make beautiful tapestries. Unfortunately for our tour, most of their work was on display, coincidentally in Cuenca! I had been to the display, so knew what their work looked like.
