Nowadays Setenil de Las Bodegas is a popular Spanish destination where all tourists are welcome to get acquainted with people who like to live under a rock. The story of the city starts in the year 1484. Most likely, the town’s name was derived from the Latin phrase “septem nihil,” and it means “seven times no”.

    There is a similar village like this in the huge Chapada Diamantina park, at city of Mucugê, Bahia State, Brazil, with few poor homes inside the rocks. Certainly it would be very attractive if some investments were done there. The whole park is wonderful.

We were house-sitting for my cousin in Coevorden and had the use of their car. We drove all over The Netherlands. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the village. Just park and walk in. It's well worth the trip.
