Continuing our route, about 30 minutes from Zahara, we arrive at Setenil de las Bodegas, a town that surprises with its uniqueness. This place is famous for its houses built directly under huge rocks, which create an urban landscape unique in the world. Setenil is a labyrinth of streets that wind between the rock formations, offering a cool and shady atmosphere even on the hottest days.
One of the most emblematic spots in Setenil is Calle Cuevas del Sol, where the houses are literally embedded in the rock walls, creating a magical atmosphere. Here, you will find bars and restaurants offering the best of local cuisine, where you can enjoy typical dishes such as chorizo al infierno and migas.
In addition, Setenil de las Bodegas has a rich historical heritage, including the Church of the Encarnación, which dates back to the 15th century and combines Gothic and Mudejar elements, reflecting the rich cultural history of the town.
Fourth stop: Grazalema, nature and tranquility We end our route in Grazalema, a beautiful white village located in the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, about 30 minutes from Setenil. This village is known for being one of the rainiest places in Spain, which gives it lush vegetation that contrasts with the white of its houses.
Grazalema is the ideal destination for nature lovers. From here, numerous hiking routes start that will allow you to explore the impressive landscapes of the mountain range, such as the Ruta del Pinsapar, which takes you through a forest of Spanish firs, a species of fir endemic to the region.
The village itself is a lovely place to wander around, with its cobbled streets, quiet squares and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Plaza de España is the hub of Grazalema, where you can relax and enjoy the village's peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.
You cannot leave Grazalema without trying its artisanal products, such as goat and sheep cheeses, which are famous throughout the region, or its wool blankets, a textile tradition that dates back centuries.
