Setenil de las Bodegas
A white town whose houses are built directly beneath huge rock overhangs that cover the entire street. It is one of the most unusual villages in Andalusia.
Setenil lies about 18 km north of Ronda, beneath cliffs carved by the Trejo river. Villagers built their homes into the rock caves, so the massive boulders serve as roofs. The Cuevas del Sol (Street of the Sun) and Cuevas de la Sombra (Street of the Shade) are the most famous, and the small bars along them serve tapas. Remains of a Moorish castle sit above the village. Entry is free. Public transport is limited, so it is best to drive from Ronda or hire a driver for a half-day trip.
