Setenil de las Bodegas: The Spanish Town Built Inside a Rock

In southern Spain, the town of Setenil de las Bodegas is built directly into and beneath a massive overhanging rock, with houses, streets, and bars tucked under stone ceilings. In this episode we explore how and why people built their homes inside the cliff, what life is like living under tons of rock, and the history that shaped one of Andalusia’s most striking towns. Discover the engineering, the culture, and the beauty of a place where the mountain is the roof.
