You're standing in the Ciudad Encantada, the Enchanted City, near Cuenca in the Spanish region of Castilla–La Mancha. Don't look for streets or houses, though. Take a look around you: this city is made of rock, in the strangest shapes. Some look like animals, others like buildings or faces. Nobody carved them. It's all the work of rain, weather and the water of the nearby Júcar river.
