# Setenil de las Bodegas

The River Trejo cut a gorge in the rock and left enormous overhangs. The villagers closed the gaps with whitewashed façades and the stone stayed as the roof of whole streets.

## Why do they live under the rock?

Setenil is tucked into the gorge that the River Trejo opened in the rock. Erosion hollowed out the base of the walls and left great overhangs, like stone eaves. Instead of digging caves, the villagers built a façade in front of each hollow: the rock serves as roof and back wall. In summer it gives shade and coolness; in winter, shelter.

The name, according to tradition, comes from the Latin septem nihil, "seven times nothing", for the sieges the Muslim fortress withstood before it fell in 1484. "De las Bodegas" was added after the conquest, when the village filled with vines and wine cellars. Phylloxera wiped them out in the 19th century.

## How much time do I need?

Three hours for the cave streets, the tower and the viewpoints. If you eat there and take the walk along the river, a long morning. It is easy to combine with Ronda on the same day.

## How do I get there?

By car: about 20 minutes from Ronda and nearly an hour and a quarter from Málaga airport. Leave the car down below, on Paseo Federico García Lorca, and start at Calle Cuevas del Sol. Inside the village the streets are narrow and steep: don't take the car in.

## Qué hacer
- **Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra** (1 h · All ages · Self-guided · free): What they are and why they exist
Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra are the two best-known streets in Setenil: they run in parallel, one on each side of the River Guadalporcún, and pass beneath the rock. The river gradually hollowed out the base of the gorge walls and left great overhangs of stone. Instead of excavating, the villagers closed those gaps with a whitewashed facade: it is the type of dwelling called a rock shelter (abrigo bajo roca), in which the crag acts as roof and back wall.
The ensemble has been declared a historic-artistic site since 1985. Many of these houses are still homes; others are bars, restaurants and shops.
The walk, step by step

Cuevas del Sol. It starts below, on the sunny bank. The rock covers the houses, but the street is open and gets light almost all day. The terraces are concentrated here.
Crossing the river. A small bridge takes you to the other bank. Setenil keeps several old bridges, such as the one on Calle Triana, from the 15th and 16th centuries.
Cuevas de la Sombra. On this street the rock covers the whole roadway and forms a natural tunnel: direct light barely gets in. It is the most photographed stretch.
Calle Herrería. From Calle Mina it climbs to the Plaza de Andalucía, again beneath the crag. The Town Council cites the Herrería and the Jabonería as areas where the cave houses are still inhabited.
Above. From the Plaza de Andalucía you have close at hand the keep tower, the church of the Encarnación and the tourist office, in the former town hall.

It is a short walk, an hour without hurrying, with slopes and steps on the climb. It can be done the other way round, coming down from the plaza, but going up first through the covered streets is more comfortable in the heat.
When to go
The streets are public and can be walked at any hour, all year, with no admission. Spring and autumn are the best times. In July and August, at midday, the heat is intense outside the covered stretches; in Cuevas de la Sombra it is cool. On Sundays and public holidays, mid-morning, excursions arrive from the coast and the narrow streets fill up; during the week and first thing there are far fewer people.
Getting there and parking
Setenil is about 20 minutes by car from Ronda. Don't take the car into the old town: the streets under the rock are narrow and the village itself asks you not to drive along them. Leave the car in the lower part, on the Paseo Federico García Lorca, next to the start of Cuevas del Sol, or in the car parks at the village entrance on Calle Ancha, next to the Virgen del Carmen school. At weekends they fill up early.
With children, a pushchair or a dog
Children are impressed by walking beneath the rock, and distances are short. With a pushchair, the lower part (Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra) is fine; to climb to the upper part there are steps and slopes, so a baby carrier is better. With a dog, no problem in the street, on a lead; on terraces ask first.
Respect the houses: they are homes. Don't point your camera through open doors and windows.
If you want more
To see these same streets from outside, climb to the Carmen viewpoint or go down to the river by the Mills Trail. If you sleep in the village, the Hotel Villa de Setenil is up top, next to the castle: at dusk the streets are left to the locals.
- **The keep and cistern** (30 min · Families): What it is
The keep, or torreón, is the most visible part of what remains of Setenil’s castle, the Andalusi fortress that crowned La Villa, the upper part of the town. Wikipedia describes it as a 13th-century Nasrid fortress with around 40 towers and a wall of about 530 m: alcázar, medina, baths, mosque and a coracha (a walled passage) that ran down to the water. It is one of the few Nasrid fortresses to keep its whole medieval urban layout. The date of the keep varies by source: the Diputación de Cádiz guide places it in the Arab period, in the 12th century, and the association Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España in the 15th.
This fortress is the reason for the town’s name. Between the reigns of John II of Castile and the Catholic Monarchs it withstood seven sieges; according to tradition, that is where the Latin septem nihil, “seven times nothing”, comes from. The last one, on 21 September 1484, ended with the town being taken by the Catholic Monarchs.
What you see
Inside the tower you climb its floors up to the terrace, from where you can see the whole town: the rooftops, the river gorge and the countryside around. Just below the keep is the cistern, the tank that collected rainwater to supply the fortress during sieges.
At the foot of the tower is the Lizón viewpoint, which, according to the town council, offers views over the whole municipality. Very close by, in the little square of the main church, the Villa viewpoint looks out over the Cabrerizas and Jabonería neighbourhoods and part of the Guadalporcún river.
Opening hours, price and how to get in
Neither the town council nor the Andalusian tourism website publishes the tower’s opening hours or price. The tourist office, in the old town hall, is a few steps away: ask there for the day’s hours and the fare before you climb. You can also contact the town council on 956 13 40 04 if you are going on a public holiday or special date.
The visit is short: half an hour is enough for the tower, the cistern and the Lizón viewpoint.
The old town hall
It is worth going in even if you only want the map. It was built in the early 16th century and incorporates a former gate tower of the wall and the Casa de la Harina. It keeps a Mudéjar par y nudillo coffered ceiling.
Getting there and parking
The tower is in the upper part of town, next to the Plaza de Andalucía and the Church of the Encarnación. Don’t drive up: park below, on the Paseo Federico García Lorca, and walk up through the cave streets and Calle Herrería, which bring you out in the square.
With children and reduced mobility
Children enjoy climbing a real tower and seeing the cistern. There are stairs inside, so it is not accessible by wheelchair or with a pushchair: leave it below. The climb from the lower part of town has slopes and steps.
Combine it with
The Church of the Encarnación is next door, and from the Lizón viewpoint you get a better sense of how the town is laid out before heading down to the covered streets. If you are staying up here, the Hotel Villa de Setenil is next to the castle.
- **Carmen Viewpoint** (20 min · No pushchairs · Self-guided · free): What it is
The Carmen viewpoint is a small esplanade on a crag, in front of the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, in Setenil's old town. From here you see the white houses tucked into the canyon of the River Guadalporcún: the roofs, the facades set against the rock and how the houses follow the curve of the wall. It is the place where you best understand, at a glance, why Setenil is the way it is.
The hermitage, from the 18th century, is the seat of the Virgen del Carmen, patron of Setenil and of seafarers.
How you get up
The Diputación de Cádiz guide to the cave streets marks the access by the Carmen staircase, which climbs from Calle Jabonería to the hermitage by steps cut into the rock. The guide invites you to count them: there are many and they are steep. In twenty minutes you have time to climb, look and come down.
To reach Calle Jabonería, enter the village from below, by Cuevas del Sol, the street of bars and restaurants under the rock; Calle Jabonería leads off it. That way you link the viewpoint with the walk through the cave streets.
Where to park
Don't take the car into the old town: the streets are narrow and some pass under the rock. Park in the lower part, on the Paseo Federico García Lorca, next to the start of Cuevas del Sol, or in the car parks at the village entrance on Calle Ancha. At weekends they fill up by mid-morning.
When to go
The viewpoint is public and free, with no opening hours. First thing and at the end of the afternoon the light is softer on the whitewashed facades and there are fewer people. In summer, at midday, the staircase in the sun is hard going: bring water. If it rains, take care on the staircase, because the polished rock is slippery.
With children, a pushchair or a dog
With children who can climb steps, no problem, although up top keep them close to the edge. With a pushchair, no: the staircase is narrow and has no ramp. With a dog, on a lead and taking it slowly on the steps.
Other viewpoints in the village
Setenil has more views from above, each showing another face of the village. In the upper part, at the foot of the keep tower, the Lizón viewpoint opens over the whole municipality. In the little square of the church of the Encarnación, the Villa viewpoint looks over the Cabrerizas and Jabonería neighbourhoods and the river. To see the village from below, from the water, do the Mills Trail.
- **Church of the Encarnación** (20 min · Everyone): What it is
The church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación is Setenil's main church. It stands at the top of the village, in La Villa, next to the keep tower, inside the old Nasrid fortress precinct. It was built after the Christian conquest of 1484 and, according to the association Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España (Spain's Most Beautiful Villages), on the site of the old main mosque and with the patronage of the Catholic Monarchs.
Work on it lasted until the 17th century. The Diputación de Cádiz guide describes it as late Gothic, with a single nave and a very marked transept; Wikipedia adds that it combines Mudéjar and Gothic parts.
What you see
The most valuable thing inside is the altarpiece of the Annunciation, from the 15th century, a piece from the village's first Christian years. Look at the transept, which gives the space its cross shape.
Outside, in the little square of the church, is the Villa viewpoint: according to the Town Council, it looks over the Cabrerizas and Jabonería neighbourhoods and part of the River Guadalporcún.
Opening hours and admission
Neither the Town Council nor the tourism website publishes the church's visiting hours. It is a place of worship, so access depends on the parish's timetables. Ask at the tourist office, a few metres away, whether you can see the inside on the day you go and whether there is a guided visit. During services, keep quiet and don't take photographs.
The visit is short: in twenty minutes you see the interior and the viewpoint.
Getting there and parking
The church is in the upper part, a step from the Plaza de Andalucía. Park below, on the Paseo Federico García Lorca, and walk up: along Cuevas del Sol, Cuevas de la Sombra and Calle Herrería you reach the plaza, passing the cave streets. Don't try to drive up; the streets of the old town are narrow and steep.
Other churches and hermitages in the village
If you are interested in religious heritage, Setenil has several hermitages. That of San Sebastián, from the 15th and 16th centuries, is considered the first Christian construction after the conquest. That of San Benito was originally a mosque in the outlying quarter; its present appearance dates from the late 19th century. That of the Carmen, from the 18th century, is the seat of the village's patron and is next to the Carmen viewpoint.
With children and reduced mobility
The climb from the lower part has slopes and steps. With a pushchair, the last stretch is hard going; with a wheelchair, ask at the tourist office for the most comfortable access to the upper part.
- **Mills Trail Along the Trejo** (Families · Self-guided · free): What it is
The Mills Trail (Ruta de los Molinos) is an easy walk along the valley floor, on the way out of Setenil, following the water that drove the village's old mills. It is a way of leaving the village and swapping the crowded streets for the stream and the sound of water. The Town Council includes it among its provincial routes and rates it easy.
The route, step by step
According to the Town Council's description:

Start at the old oil mill (almazara). It begins next to an old oil press, at the confluence of the Alcalá stream with the River Guadalporcún. That building later served as a still for making pomace spirit.
Along the Alcalá del Valle drove road (vereda). The path follows the old drove road to Alcalá del Valle, beside the Alcalá stream.
The flour mills. You pass two grain mills, now disused.
The Salto de la Molinilla. The Town Council highlights it as one of the route's strong points: a waterfall on the stream.
Towards the Escarpes del Trejo. Where the waters meet, the route links with the Escarpes del río Trejo route, with rock walls, caves and falls carved by erosion. The Batán mill waterfall is there.

The Town Council cites barbel and otters in the water.
Distance, time and ascent
The Town Council does not publish the route's distance or time. Routes shared by walkers on platforms such as Wikiloc under this name, starting from Setenil, come to around 8.5 to 9 km with a little over 100 m of cumulative ascent, but they are user tracks, not official ones. If you only want to see the oil mill, the mills and the Salto de la Molinilla, you can go and return the same way and cut it as short as you like.
For a longer walk, the Escarpes del río Trejo route continues about 5 km more, to Olvera, along the CA-P-422 road and the riverbank.
Where it starts and where to park
The starting point is the old oil mill next to the confluence of the Alcalá stream and the Guadalporcún. Ask at the tourist office how to get there on foot from the centre and whether they have a map of the route. Leave the car in the lower part of the village, on the Paseo Federico García Lorca, and don't try to enter the old town.
Waymarking, water and shade
The municipal website doesn't detail the waymarking. Bring the route downloaded on your phone or a map from the tourist office. Bring water: the website lists no fountains on the route. In summer, at midday, the valley gets very hot; set off early or at the end of the afternoon.
When to go
In spring the stream carries more water and the falls look their best. In autumn, good weather for walking. In summer, only first thing. After heavy rain, the path beside the water may be muddy: if the stream is running high, don't go near the bank and turn back.
With children or a dog
It is an easy route to do as a family; with small children, do only the stretch to the Salto de la Molinilla and come back. With a dog, no problem, best on a lead. With a pushchair, the dirt track isn't suited to it: bring a baby carrier.
- **Ronda, 20 Minutes Away** (4 h · Everyone · Municipal pass €12 · under-14s free): Why go from Setenil
Ronda is about 20 minutes by car from Setenil and is the city of the serranía. If Setenil lives inside the canyon of one river, Ronda is split in two by another: the Guadalevín opened a deep gorge (el Tajo), and the city spreads on both sides, joined by the Puente Nuevo. With Setenil in the morning and Ronda in the afternoon, the day is complete.
What to see in half a day

Puente Nuevo. The city's symbol. It was built between 1759 and 1793 and finished by the architect José Martín de Aldehuela; Wikipedia gives it a height of 98 m above the Guadalevín gorge. It replaced an earlier bridge from 1735 that collapsed six years later. In the chamber above the central arch, which was a prison, there is an interpretation centre on the surroundings and history of the city.
La Ciudad. On the other side of the bridge is the old town, with the Palacio de Mondragón, the Casa del Gigante and the church of Santa María la Mayor.
Arab Baths (Baños Árabes). Below, next to the river, baths from the Andalusi period.
Museo Joaquín Peinado, devoted to the painter from Ronda.

To see the Tajo from below, the Town Council offers the Tajo gorge experience, presented on its tourism website.
Tickets: the tourist pass
The Town Council sells a municipal pass that brings together five monuments: the Puente Nuevo interpretation centre, the Casa del Gigante, the Arab Baths, the Palacio de Mondragón and the Museo Joaquín Peinado. According to its leaflet, dated February 2025, it costs €12 per person and €9 for students under 26, retirees and large families; under-14s go in free. There is a €25 premium pass that adds Santa María la Mayor, the Casa Palacio Museo Lara and the Casa Don Bosco. Last admission at each monument is half an hour before closing.
It is bought on Ronda's tourism website. Opening hours of each monument change with the season: check them there before going.
Getting there from Setenil and parking
By car, about 20 minutes. The old town has narrow streets: leave the car in a public car park before going in and get around on foot, because the Puente Nuevo, La Ciudad and the monuments on the pass are a short distance from each other.
How long
Allow half a day: about four hours for the Puente Nuevo, a walk round La Ciudad and two or three monuments on the pass. If you want to see it all at leisure, stay overnight: the Parador de Ronda overlooks the Tajo, next to the Puente Nuevo.
When to go
Spring and autumn. In July and August the heat is intense at midday; leave Ronda for the afternoon, when temperatures drop and the light falls on the Tajo. If you do both towns on the same day, go into Setenil first thing, before the groups arrive, and go up to Ronda after lunch.
With children or reduced mobility
Under-14s go in free with the pass. The old town has slopes and some steps, and going down to the Arab Baths means a good slope on the way back.

## Dónde comer
- **Restaurante El Mirador** (Restaurant, Setenil de las Bodegas, €€€). Qué pedir: the cod fritters, the tuna with onions or the oxtail ingot, and the Setenil sponge for dessert

## By car: Car below, village on foot
Setenil is a road trip: 20 minutes from Ronda and an hour and a quarter from Málaga airport, with no trains. Once in the village, leave the car below and walk up.
Presupuesto orientativo: 70–130 € por persona y día.
### Dónde dormir if you're driving
- **Hotel Villa de Setenil** (Small hotel): Sleeping inside the town
The Hotel Villa de Setenil is on Calle Callejón, in the upper part of Setenil de las Bodegas, close to the tower and the Church of the Encarnación. It is a small country hotel, registered in the Andalusian tourism register as H/CA/01327. Sleeping here gives you what day-trippers don’t get: the cave streets empty first thing in the morning and at dusk, once the coach tours from the coast have left.
The rooms
There are double rooms of 25 m², with a double bed or two beds, and single rooms of 15 m², all with views of the cave houses; some have a private terrace. Each one is decorated differently. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00. Breakfast is a buffet, and there is room service and wifi throughout the hotel. Pets are not allowed.
Eating in-house
In the same building is the El Mirador restaurant, with glass walls over the town’s rooftops and cooking from the Sierra de Cádiz using local produce. It is convenient to have dinner without leaving the hotel, but book a table, because it fills up.
Getting there
By car, along the Ronda road, about 20 minutes away, or from Málaga airport, a little over an hour and a quarter. The hotel offers an airport transfer: ask for it when you book. Inside the town the streets are narrow and steep; ask the hotel where to leave your car before you go up. Reception answers the phone from 9:00 to 20:00 every day.
- **Parador de Ronda** (Hotel): If you would rather have Ronda as your base, the parador overlooks the Tajo gorge, next to the Puente Nuevo.
Why sleep in Ronda to see Setenil
Setenil is easy to see in half a day: the cave streets, the keep and the Carmen viewpoint fit into one morning. That is why many people prefer to sleep in Ronda, about 20 minutes away by car, where there is more choice of hotels and restaurants, and visit Setenil as a day trip there and back. If you want to sleep in the town itself, the alternative is the Hotel Villa de Setenil, in the upper part.
The Parador de Ronda is the most recognisable option for that base: it is on the Plaza de España, right in the centre, at the edge of the gorge, a cleft about 120 metres deep, with the Puente Nuevo alongside.
The building
It opened in 1994 on the site of Ronda’s former town hall and food market buildings, and keeps the original façade of the Casa Consistorial, with its arcades, cornices and clock. Inside, Paradores has gathered a collection of bullfighting art with more than a hundred works, from Goya-era culture and Romanticism to pop and abstraction. The interior is bright and vividly coloured, and the terrace and swimming pool look out over the gorge.
Rooms and services
It has three types of room: standard double, superior double and duplex. All have air conditioning, a safe with space for a laptop, minibar, flat-screen television with Chromecast, hairdryer and free wifi, and there is room service and a laundry service.
The hotel’s services include a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a lift, an electric car charging point and paid garage parking, which saves you looking for a space every night in central Ronda. Paradores sells room-only rates, rates with breakfast or half board: the price depends on the date and can be checked on its website.
Where to have dinner
The parador’s restaurant serves traditional Andalusian and Mediterranean cooking, with specialities from the Serranía and dishes in the bullfighting tradition. Next door is El Manzel de Ronda, a more informal space with sharing plates from the Málaga districts, a good option if you come back late from Setenil.
Getting here from Setenil
By car, the trip between the two towns is short. In Setenil, leave the car in the car park on Paseo Federico García Lorca, in the lower part, because the streets in the centre are narrow. In Ronda, the parador’s garage saves you driving around the Mercadillo. To book, call 952 87 75 00 or write to ronda@parador.es.

## By plane: Flying to Málaga and a car into the sierra
Málaga airport is Setenil's gateway for anyone flying from northern Spain, the Balearics or the Canaries: there are direct flights from many Spanish cities and, from there, about an hour and a quarter by car to the village. Seville is further away. Hire the car at the airport: there is no practical way to get there without one.

## As a family: Streets with a stone roof

Children only need to see a street covered by a rock the size of a building. The town is small and can be walked without tiring them out, as long as you avoid the heat.

### What works best
Cuevas de la Sombra, where the rock hides the sky

Climbing the keep

The short route along the river

### Where to sleep
In the town, to see it empty at dusk

### Where to eat
Tapas on the terraces in the lower part

### Worth knowing
With a pushchair, only the lower part: there are steps higher up

In summer, set off early: it is very hot at midday

Narrow streets with residents’ cars: keep an eye on little ones

### Qué hacer as a family
- Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra
- The keep and cistern
- Carmen Viewpoint
- Mills Trail Along the Trejo

## Consejos

### Start from the bottom
From Cuevas del Sol you cross the bridge to Cuevas de la Sombra and climb to the castle. Coming down afterwards is easier.

### Stop by the tourist office
From there you get access to the keep and they give you a map with the streets.

### Look from the Trejo bridges
The best views of the houses under the rock are from the river, not from inside the streets.

### Wear shoes with a grip sole
There are steps and polished stone floors that are slippery.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Do I have to pay to see the village?
No. The streets are public. Only the keep charges a small entrance fee.

### Can I go with children?
Yes. The covered streets impress them and the distances are short. With a pushchair, stick to the lower part: there are steps higher up.

### Where do I park?
On Paseo Federico García Lorca, in the lower part, next to Calle Cuevas del Sol. There is also paid parking near the centre.

### Can I see it on an excursion from Ronda?
Yes, it is about 20 minutes away. Many combine them: Setenil in the morning and Ronda in the afternoon.

### Do people really live in those houses?
Yes. Many are homes and others are bars and shops. Respect the neighbours' doors and windows.
