Setenil de las Bodegas is one of the most unusual villages in Spain. The houses are built directly into the rock overhangs above the river.
The Cave Streets
Setenil's most famous feature. Streets where the rock overhang forms the ceiling of houses, bars, and restaurants.
Viewpoints
From above, Setenil looks like a village poured into a canyon.
Streets & Architecture
White houses, narrow lanes, and the occasional tight squeeze.
The Castle & Church
The hilltop castle and Iglesia de la Encarnación overlook the entire village.
Eating & Drinking
Half the fun of Setenil is eating tapas under a rock overhang.
The River
The Río Trejo carved this gorge over millions of years, creating the rock overhangs the village is built into.
