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”.
Most of the houses in this small village are carved directly in stone, that is why the small town gets it unique look and attraction to people from around the world. What is more the city offer amazing wine, world-famous delicacies like chorizo and cerdo, and fascinating hiking trails.
It is one of the most unusual place you will ever see, it is the town where nature and people live in harmony!
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.
