Setenil de las Bodegas
Setenil de las Bodegas is a little known though incredibly important part of the history of inland Andalucia, having been founded by the Romans from the nearby ruined city of Acinipo as a storage warehouse for wines and other products before shipment to the rest of the Roman empire. Visitors always marvel at homes, shops, bars and restaurants built directly into the rock, most of which have natural rock ceilings. Read more about Setenil de las Bodegas here.
