This unique village is the only one in this part of Andalusia with cave dwellings. Unlike the region around Granada, there are no chimneys here, only rows of houses that seem to collapse under the weight of the rock from which they were carved. Beautiful examples are located on Calle Cuevas del Sol and Calle Cuevas de la Sombra. The tourist office has a beautiful artesonado ceiling from the 16th century. A keep towers above Setenil, from where the neighbouring village of Olvera can be seen. The Gothic Iglesia de la Encarnacion, located even higher, is decorated with neo-Gothic frescoes.

The highlight is just before the city gate with a view of Calle Calcetas.
