Cuevas del Sol Street in Setenil de las Bodegas is one of the most iconic and photographed corners of this picturesque town in the Sierra de Cádiz, famous for its houses built directly beneath enormous rocks.

Setenil de las Bodegas is a picturesque municipality in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia. It is known for its unique urban layout, with houses built under large rocks that form part of the Trejo River canyon. This town is an essential stop on the famous route of the White Villages of Cadiz.

There is a main street on either side of the Guadalporcún river that runs through the village, both of which offer the perfect places to enjoy the view of the rocks. They are called Cuevas del Sol and Cuevas de la Sombra (Sun and Shadow Caves). They owe their name to the sunlight phenomenon that occurs thanks to the rocks above them. Cuevas del Sol is always in sunlight.

The oldest human traces in Setenil date back to the Neolithic period. The Romans also later had a colony in nearby Laccipo. However, it was only during the Arab kingdom that Setenil de las Bodegas gained fundamental historical importance. Due to its location and the rocks that surround the village, the Catholic monarchs besieged the village seven times, the last siege in 1484 lasting only 15 days. The name Setenil comes from the Latin words "Septem Nihil" and means "Seven times nothing". The village owes the second part of the name to the surrounding vineyards and the excellent wine that is produced there, "de las bodegas" means "from the wineries".
