Here’s another one from my archives. It’s the town under a rock, Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain, where around 3,000 inhabitants are living quite literally, under a rock.
The small white washed town
has a unique setting along a narrow river gorge eroded by the Rio Trejo river, with many of the houses being built into and under the walls of the gorge itself.
There was a practical reason for living here.
The natural caves are
ideal living quarters because they didn’t need to build whole houses to keep out the heat and cold- the cave did that. All they had to build were the façades.
The bars, restaurants and food shops
are ranked as the best in the region.
In summer, the town is vibrant.
The town used to be large store rooms for local produce, b/c of the cool environment in the rock.
It’s fascinating to think of them building this town.
Look at this little house.
Even though a lot of the town is under the rock, a lot of it still gets the sun. It’s like going in and out of tunnels.
