Subjects :The country built into the rock is one of the most unique destinations in Spain, as well as a must during a trip to Andalusia. It is, in fact, an incredible example of the adaptation of man in the territory that has had the ability to create houses in and under the rock. The white village, built between cavities and rocky frames, houses a labyrinth of stone and lime streets to visit absolutely. One of the stops not to be missed is the Castillo de Setenil de las Bodegas, located in the heart of the urban center , at its highest point and next to the imposing church of Our Lady of the Incarnation. The symbol of the castle is its imposing tower, built during the Arab occupation, probably during the Almohad period, between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The great bastion of defense of the city has allowed seven times to protect the town from invasions. In addition, El Torreón is the only remaining example of the old fortress, along with the cistern at its foot and the few remains of the wall that flanks the entire rock where it stood and that protected the medieval city.
