The Women of Cuenca

Many of the women in Cuenca where skirts as you see in the pictures.  They are made out of velveteen in a variety of colors, they are pleated and some have a floral border at the hem.  Many women wear a hat and braid their hair. They wear beautifully woven, colorful shawls made near Cuenca.
