Unfortunately, we also had great difficulty on the aforementioned scree field. There were no signposts or arrows to be seen, and the path was so dangerous that we had to turn back. As a result, we couldn't complete the entire loop. What a shame.

At the edge of the road you have an example of a cave house. Many look out towards the village of Setenil, but here the lamp is on. Other houses are well hidden behind the trees.

Easy trail for everyone. There is some effort to be made. Specially on the last part, which is quite steep. But worth the climb. Recommended for everyone. If there is rain, the tunnel that goes under the road can get flooded, and the alternative is just crossing the road. Enjoy, and please respect the place.

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.
