We are staying near this town for 10 nights in September. I can’t wait to visit.

Great Video of such an amazing town that has settled into the side of the mountain. A place where I would love to visit. How interesting that it is known for chorizo, wine and marmalade. I will definitely pin this for me to take a visit there.

Wow — how awesome! I thought it was a figurative “rock” and here is a literal huge rock over the town. What a great place to visit!

Wow! What a wonderful place! I’d never heard of it before but it sounds magical. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and top tips for a visit. We need to dust off our Spanish and get booking our flights

I’d love to see more of Andalusia’a White Towns but this one surely has to be first. I’m always fascinated by places that work around their setting and the houses under that rock ledge are truly fascinating! Stunning photos as always!

I´ve been to Andalusia so many times and still haven´t seen all of its ‘White Towns’! Although I did visit Setenil de las Bodegas – such a unique place indeed! We didn´t spend much time there, cause as you mention, it´s a lot about stairs and we had a baby and a stroller. I´m also surprised by the fact they don´t speak English – I mean, they basically live from international tourism in Andalusia!!! Although after all these years of living in Spain and traveling across the country I should have gotten used to it!!!! lol #FeetDoTravel

What an interesting town! It reminds me of the ancient cities in the Southwest, built in rock crevices; though at this time they are all only ruins. I never knew a place like this existed. Now I need to go visit it. I’d love to get lost there (not that I could from the sound of it). Thanks for sharing; gorgeous photos, by the way.
