The
proper
name
for
Setinel
is
Setinel
de las
Bodegas.
This
tiny
town
is
located
north
of
Ronda,
within
Andalucia
and in
the
province
of
Cadiz.
One of
the
main
attractions
of the
town
are
the
cave
houses.
The
town
is
divided
by a
beautiful
stream
that
flows
under
many
bridges.
The
town
is
hardly
affected
by
tourism
although
several
tourist
shops
have
sprung
up to
cater
for
day
visitors.
The
town
has a
ruined
fortress
that
stands
on top
of a
hill,
alongside
the
church. |

Calle
Jaboneria
is a
street
worthy
of a
visit.
It
is
believed
to
have
been
given
its
name
due
to
the
location
of a
soap
factory
in
the
street
in
the
18th
century
or
maybe
because
the
women
used
to
come
to
the
stream
in
this
street
to
wash
their
clothes.
From
this
street
is a
splendid
view
of
La
Peña
(the
walled
crag),
as
well
as
the
fortress
and
the
church.
The
cave
houses
within
this
street
and
those
in
Calle
Herreria
are
still
inhabited
and
have
been
since
prehistoric
times.
Many
of
the
interiors
of
the
caves
are
still
blackened
with
soot.
Some
of
the
cave
houses
have
been
converted
to
tourist
shops,
selling
all
manner
of
local
artisan
wares.
Good
buys
include
local
wine,
olive
oil,
honey
and
jams.
Brightly
painted
ceramics
are
also
worthy
of a
mention. |

The
best
views
of the
town
can be
had
from
the
road
heading
out.
The
tiny
houses
are
typical
of
Andalucian
design,
whitewashed
to
reflect
the
heat
and
having
small
windows
to
keep
out
the
sun.
From
Setenil,
take a
short
drive
to
Olvira.
