Basin is known as a term derived from the Latin shell that can be used to mention different issues. A basin, according to the theory, can be a geographical feature that supposes a depression on the Earth's surface, a valley in the middle of heights or a land whose waters flow towards the same sea, river or lake.
In this sense, one can speak of
An ocean basin, on the other hand, is a large and fairly uniform area that makes up the ocean floor. For hydrology, every depression on the Earth covered by the sea is an ocean basin, while geology defines the ocean basin as the wide depression that lies below sea level.
A sedimentary basin, on the other hand, is an accumulation of sediments that is produced by the erosion of the earth's surface. The thickness of the sediments is at least several hundred meters and an area of tens of square kilometers.
It should also be mentioned that Cuenca is also the name of several cities, such as the capital of the homonymous province that is located in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), the city of the south-central Ecuador that is located in the province of Azuay or one of the districts of the Huancavelica province in Peru.
La provincia española de Cuenca, de donde son oriundos muchos personajes de gran importancia en los campos más diversos, tales como el reconocido escritor Fray Luis de León o el cantautor de éxito internacional José Luis Perales, goza de una serie de características culturales, geográficas y sociales que la distinguen del resto del territorio nacional y la convierten en un destino obligatorio, tanto para los turistas como para personas del mismo país que todavía no han pisado el suelo conquense.
Its geographical characteristics are very varied, as well as the cultures that have passed through the province historically, which is a great wealth, which for example is reflected in its musical and artistic variety.
Regarding the gastronomic plane, they maintain a diet that helps to overcome the violent and sudden changes in temperature that they suffer when passing from one season to another. Its main source of raw material is meat, as unfortunately happens in the rest of the Spanish territory; Partridges are hunted and lambs and chickens are raised, and with them they make an infinity of dishes that represent another of the essential points of Cuenca's identity, as well as that of Castilian.
Its sweets also stand out, such as alajú, which is usually prepared with honey, crumbled bread and almonds or walnuts; As well as other aspects of the region, creativity and hard work are the key to variety.
