Setenil de las Bodegas: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Setenil de las Bodegas is a unique municipality in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, known for its distinctive architecture where many houses are built into and under overhanging rock formations. The town's name partially derives from the Latin word 'septem nihil' (seven times nothing), referring to the Christian attempts to capture it from the Moors, and 'bodegas' referring to the wine cellars that were once common in the area.

The white-washed houses integrated into the rocky cliff faces along the Río Trejo create a remarkable urban landscape that reflects centuries of human adaptation to the natural environment. The town's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its Moorish past, visible in its urban layout and architectural elements.

Today, Setenil maintains its historical character while being known for its local gastronomy, particularly its meat products, olive oil, and traditional pastries.
