Setenil de las Bodegas is a unique and picturesque village located in the province of Cádiz, Spain. Known for its distinctive architecture, many of the town's houses are built into and under large rock overhangs, creating a dramatic and scenic landscape. This integration of natural rock formations into the buildings themselves provides a naturally cool environment, which has historically been advantageous for storing food and wine. The town's narrow, winding streets are a delight to explore, revealing charming whitewashed buildings, cozy tapas bars, and local shops. Setenil de las Bodegas is also rich in history, with origins dating back to the Roman times and a significant past during the Moorish period. The town's name, "de las Bodegas," refers to its historic wine production, which remains an important part of the local culture.
