Just to help you to relax We've been to Cuenca a couple of days ago - try "EL MERCADO" Restaurant on Calle Largo - the best yummy experience ever had in Ecuador...
There's also a Consulate in Guayaquil...

Very strange, as I said we received the visa in the same situation in the same Consulate from spaniards few weeks ago. It's a nonsense they treat you in a different way in a few days after us. We wrote letters to Spanish Foreign Affairs Ministry and to "Your Europe Advise" (not SOLVIT actually ...
