Setenil de las Bodegas

The term living under a rock quite literally applies to the people of the small pueblo (town) of Setenil de las Bodegas. This white-washed town in the province of Cadiz exists under the shadow of a huge gorge that has been eroded over the years by the mighty Rio Trejo. While houses are built directly into the rock structures, the inhabitants of this sparsely populated town deem it a blessing, one that shelters them from the polarizing temperatures that sweep the region. Not one to be deterred by overhanging rocks, the town of Setenil de las Bodegas continues to flourish with its lovely bars and restaurants, known to be one of the more superior ones in the entire region. This Andalusian beauty is also known for its excellent produce, such as olive oil, honey, jam, and chorizo.
