What a wonderful little village! We went further than the main roads and explored the outskirts as well as the central areas and discovered such quaint and beautiful spots. A must do!

Went to Setenil for a quick visit and it's indeed a special place to see. Parked at the main parking and it stays around a 10min walk from the village highlights, the covered street. It didn't seem to have many options for lunch but we eventually found a good spot. It was sunny and warm day even in December.

Very small town but with a history and very nice streets to walk. The houses have been built into the rocks and it looks like caves but they are houses. Very good experience.

Setenil de Las Bodegas is a picturesque village in the province of Andalucia. Many of its whitewashed houses and businesses are built right into the side of hills made of rock. There are many restaurants and shops around its narrow streets. It's a major tourist draw, attracting Spaniards and tourists alike.

November was not crowded with tourists. We spent half day and had anchored nice walk all over the town. Beautiful and peaceful.

Nice small town hidden in the mountains. We went there on our trip from Málaga to Gibraltar thru Setenil and Ronda. Finally Setenil is much smaller, but we probably enjoyed it more as Ronda. Can highly recommend to everyone

A captivating Spanish village nestled within striking cliffs and rocky overhangs. Its unique charm lies in the houses built directly into the rock formations, creating a picturesque and otherworldly setting. Exploring its winding streets and enjoying the shade provided by the natural rock formations make for a truly memorable experience. It's worth spending at least half of day, 7 - 10kms walking, but there are also plenty of restaurants to rest or have a drink.

It's one of the most beautiful villages in Spain!! The withe villages with their floral streets... And this in particular I side the rock of the mountain, get lost around...try the great bars for some tapes and vine and enjoy the amazing views

It’s a interesting place, but for 1 hour only. The streets are very crowded and the food wasn’t impressive. You can find it in any other spanish city without having to drive to Setenil

Picturesque town in the middle of Andalucia. A bit hard to find parking and not many signage. We walked up the hill first and found the town name signage. Then walked down to the restaurant areas. Worth to visit though.

I traveled from Seville to Setenil, and I instantly fell in love with the journey! The road is full of sunflower fields, bringing a fresh atmosphere. Setenil itself is a charming town, unlike anything I had ever seen before.
Gabi — Google review
Probably one of the most recognisable villages in Spain and we’ll worth a visit. There’s an underground car park, near the old town, which is cheap and I wouldn’t hesitate to use. It’s just an amazing place to wander around!

Scenic spot
Mirador del Carmen is a popular viewpoint in Setenil de las Bodegas, offering stunning panoramic views of the village, including the iconic Setenil sign, church, and castle. Located centrally, it requires climbing two large staircases to reach but rewards visitors with breathtaking vistas. Adjacent to the Hermita de Nuestra Senora del Carmen, this overlook provides a unique and picturesque perspective of the town.
Lovely overlook right next to the cathedral.
Brisippus — Google review
Nice town, interesting to walk around and see buildings built into the hills. Tradition holds that the town's Castilian name came from the Roman Latin phrase septem nihil ('seven times nothing'). This is said to refer to the Moorish town's resistance to Christian assault, allegedly being captured only after seven sieges. This took place in the final years of the Christian Reconquest. Besieged unsuccessfully in 1407, Setenil finally fell in 1484 when Christian forces expelled the Moorish occupants. Using gunpowder artillery, the Christians took fifteen days to capture the castle whose ruins dominate the town today.

(Translated by Google) The best viewpoint in the town, a thousand times better than the castle or church where you can't see anything and also free. It is ideal for doing glutes since to get there you have to climb some steps with large steps. A must go if you visit Setenil. (Original) El mejor mirador del pueblo, mil veces mejor que el castillo o iglesia donde no se ve nada y además gratis. Es ideal para hacer glúteos ya que para llegar hay que subir unos escalones con grandes peldaños. Imprescindible ir si visitas Setenil.

Fresh salad was bad (roughly chopped lettuce with big chunks of stalk), no taste at all. Iberica grill set was mediocre. Brought bottle of water without suggesting it and automatically included in the bill. Calculated salad for 11 euro instead of 7. Tried to cheat with the bill and didn't even apologize. Having no other oprions I'll recommend to wait for the table in some other place. P. S.: Homeless cats enjoyed the meat though

Delicious food with great portions. We ordered the berenjenas con queso de cabra as an appetizer. They tasted great, very unique crispy eggplant slices with goat cheese in between and balsamic reduction on top. We then ordered the parillada ibérica for 5 people and we were blown away with the amount of food we received. The pork was very tender and the fries tasted very flavoursome with a hint of pork. I highly recommend Bar Frasquito for anyone looking for someplace to eat in Setanil. Be sure to make a reservation in advance because this place fills up fast for lunch!

Íbamos por recomendación. Calidad buena pero mucha espera. No hacen reservas. Según orden de llegada te van apuntando en una libreta. Nos dijeron que esperaríamos sobre 1 hora (hemos ido en día festivo) y acabaron siendo casi 2. Entendemos que no es algo que dependa de ellos pero si aviso para que tengáis en cuenta que es recomendable ir a primera hora o a última. Tienen una barra en donde, si tienes hueco, puedes esperar tomándote algo. La comida buena, con buenas cantidades y bien de precio. Lo que menos nos gustó fue la cazuela de langostinos, le faltaba sabor. Por lo demás, todo muy rico. Tienen terraza, salón con 5/6 mesas y 3 mesas altas en frente de la barra. Recomendable pero para ir mentalizado de la espera en días de gran afluencia. (Translated by Google) We went on recommendation. Good quality but long wait. They don't make reservations. According to the order of arrival, they write you down in a notebook. They told us that we would wait about 1 hour (we went on a holiday) and it ended up being almost 2. We understand that it is not something that depends on them but I do warn you so that you keep in mind that it is advisable to go first thing or last thing. They have a bar where, if you have space, you can wait and have a drink. Good food, with good quantities and good prices. What we liked least was the prawn casserole, it lacked flavor. Otherwise, everything is very rich. They have a terrace, a lounge with 5/6 tables and 3 high tables in front of the bar. Recommended but to be aware of the wait on busy days.

Probably the best restaurant in the whole region ! 100% the best in Setenil.. Let's start with something very important if you want to enjoy your meal here or anywhere else in this pretty village : come early. Get there by 13.00 – 13.30 and put your name on a waiting list. You can reserve some places by phone, but not this one. Too good, too busy. The waiter will tell you approximately how long you have to wait. In our case 30 minutes. Use that time to stroll around the village center. There are only two roads with caves, divided by a river. The restaurant is on one of these cave roads, so everything is at hand and time will fly. When you get back there is a good chance that there are still one or two before you. Get a drink or simply wait, taking in the scenery. Once you're seated get your order going asap, either because you have scanned the QR code before or because you have already chosen from the menu on their web. If you are unsure, ask the staff for recommendations or tell them any special requirements – we are used to Ribera de Duero, but were told that "la gallinita ciega" was far superior to their Ribera house wine...and so it was. In fact so much that we have now ordered a box of it. Virtually unknown wine with an excellent taste and cheap as chips ! As for the food, they have really tasty vegan options..as well as food for "normal" people (yes, I am the vegan in the family..). The food is good quality and served quickly. The staff are fast, efficient and very friendly. This is the number one restaurant in the village and it is easy to see why.

Great food and service. Big plates for decent price in a very turistic place. We waited for about 30 minutes to get a table, but we knew what we got into, we had seen the comments so we decided to come to this one. We had the croquetas, flamenquines and the parrillada for 2. A lot of food for 2, thankfully we were told that one more dish was too much. The flamenquines were a bit raw inside, but when we told the waitress they immediately took it and brought a new one, well cooked. It was all very good. The fries could be better though.

Fuimos a desayunar primeramente y después a comer. En el desayuno tienen un mollete de pueblo que merece la pena probar, surtido corto pero con los típicos sabores de siempre. En cuanto a la comida, pedimos berenjenas con rulo de cabra. El sabor del rulo predomina sobre la berenjena y no notas su sabor. Aún así, recomendaría el plato. Y de carne pedimos el lagarto recomendado por la camarera y estaba buenísimo. (Translated by Google) We went for breakfast first and then for lunch. At breakfast they have a village muffin that is worth trying, a short assortment but with the usual typical flavors. As for food, we ordered eggplant with goat roll. The flavor of the curl predominates over the eggplant and you don't notice its flavor. Still, I would recommend the dish. And for meat we ordered the lizard recommended by the waitress and it was delicious.

Church
The Ermita de San Benito is a church located in the historic quarter of Setenil. Its construction date is unknown, but it dates back to the early 15th century. Situated on a set of meandering stairs, this picturesque location attracts many photographers. It serves as the headquarters for the Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno. Unfortunately, access to its interior was not possible during our visit.
(Translated by Google) Hermitage resulting from the transformation of a mosque in the suburb of the Nasrid fortress, since it was next to a fountain. After many restorations, Muslim remains are barely visible. Since the s. XVI is the headquarters of the populous Royal Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno and Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, highly venerated in Setenil. (Original) Ermita resultado de la transformación de una mezquita del arrabal de la fortaleza nazarí, ya que estaba junto a una fuente.

I discovered this small church as I was walking down to the center of the city from the top of the hill, which happens to also be the edge of the town of Setenil de Las Bodegas.

A small village, but worth seeing - the houses are built into the stone, so only the perimeter walls without roofs are built. You can see the most visited sites - basically two streets - within 20 - 30 minutes. If you come by car, you can park almost everywhere, there are no parking zones.

Definitely NOT as good as you see in the tourist books. It is way too crowded and because there’s so many seats to eat/drink it actually blocks you view quite a lot of the ‘cave’. Parking is terrible. I’m still in doubt if I found it worth the visit at all.

Nestled in one of the village's most renowned streets, Bar La Escueva is a popular dining spot in Setenil de las Bodegas, highly praised by locals and visitors alike. While their menu offers a wide selection of high-quality dishes, some standout recommendations include the tomato salad with ventresca, torrija with foie gras and ham, ensaladilla, and flamenquin.
Food is generally bad in Spain and even worse for the poor tourist so I was pleasantly surprised here. I had the pork fillets served with fries and a garlic sauce. Never had such tender and succulent pork. A snip at just 10 euro.

Saturday morning getting up late I hoped on a taxi and for 29 euro(tip included) I reached Setenil de las Bodegas. I won’t dwell on this little place too much because I am planning to write an article at the end of the series mentioning all those places I found wonderful in my trip. However I will stop and write a short review for Bar la Escueva, a place I took a small meal in on a busy Saturday week. The bar is big, well at least comparing to those from Ronda and I can honestly say that I think it is about the same size as all three places I tried in Ronda. Plus a couple of tables outside so yes, it is big. The prices are a bit higher than in Ronda but even though I ate just a small meal I can honestly say that the food was good. The liver pate, the bread and jamon blended wonderfully and this was one of the nicest surprises from my trip even though it was just a simple, small meal

Brought bottle of water without suggesting it and automatically included in the bill. Calculated salad for 11 euro instead of 7. Tried to cheat with the bill and didn't even apologize. Having no other oprions I'll recommend to wait for the table in some other place. P. S.: Homeless cats enjoyed the meat though

Amazing food, we had the cheese platter, which tasted great, the Rabo de toro, which tasted amazing. And skewers of octopus that was heavenly. 100% recommend this place

Delicious food with great portions. We ordered the berenjenas con queso de cabra as an appetizer. They tasted great, very unique crispy eggplant slices with goat cheese in between and balsamic reduction on top. We then ordered the parillada ibérica for 5 people and we were blown away with the amount of food we received. The pork was very tender and the fries tasted very flavoursome with a hint of pork. I highly recommend Bar Frasquito for anyone looking for someplace to eat in Setanil. Be sure to make a reservation in advance because this place fills up fast for lunch!

What a lovely place, staff and vibes. Staff has gone through the menu with us and suggested the best options. I am really happy to choose all suggestions as I enjoyed the meals very much. Just the toilet 🚽 is upstairs and the toilet light will turn off automatically in 30 seconds 😂 so you will stay In dark. Thank you 😊

Este bar está situado en la calle principal de Setenil de las bodegas,un precioso pueblo y muy turístico de la sierra de Cádiz. El personal era muy amable,solo tomamos un café con leche y un descafeinado con leche de máquina,la verdad que no estaba muy bueno, parecía más un cortado,pero pedimos que nos añadieran un poco de leche y enseguida nos lo hicieron,fueron muy amables. El techo del servicio es de roca,es una cueva típica de Setenil de las bodegas. El precio 1'50€ un café con leche en vaso pequeño. (Translated by Google) This bar is located on the main street of Setenil de las Bodegas, a beautiful and very touristy town in the Sierra de Cádiz. The staff was very friendly, we only had a coffee with milk and a decaf with milk from a machine, the truth is that it was not very good, it seemed more like a Cortado, but we asked for them to add a little milk and they did it right away, they were very friendly The roof of the service is made of rock, it is a typical Setenil cave of the wineries. The price is €1.50 for a coffee with milk in a small glass.

True taste of Spanish pueblo life in a gorgeous setting👌🏼 Recommend the Alcachofas con Langostinos 🍤 Small and popular with both locals and tourists, so I’d recommend getting there before Spanish lunch time to avoid the masses. Great service and friendly staff. We’ll be back

Íbamos por recomendación. Calidad buena pero mucha espera. No hacen reservas. Según orden de llegada te van apuntando en una libreta. Nos dijeron que esperaríamos sobre 1 hora (hemos ido en día festivo) y acabaron siendo casi 2. Entendemos que no es algo que dependa de ellos pero si aviso para que tengáis en cuenta que es recomendable ir a primera hora o a última. Tienen una barra en donde, si tienes hueco, puedes esperar tomándote algo. La comida buena, con buenas cantidades y bien de precio. Lo que menos nos gustó fue la cazuela de langostinos, le faltaba sabor. Por lo demás, todo muy rico. Tienen terraza, salón con 5/6 mesas y 3 mesas altas en frente de la barra. Recomendable pero para ir mentalizado de la espera en días de gran afluencia. (Translated by Google) We went on recommendation. Good quality but long wait. They don't make reservations. According to the order of arrival, they write you down in a notebook. They told us that we would wait about 1 hour (we went on a holiday) and it ended up being almost 2. We understand that it is not something that depends on them but I do warn you so that you keep in mind that it is advisable to go first thing or last thing. They have a bar where, if you have space, you can wait and have a drink. Good food, with good quantities and good prices. What we liked least was the prawn casserole, it lacked flavor. Otherwise, everything is very rich. They have a terrace, a lounge with 5/6 tables and 3 high tables in front of the bar. Recommended but to be aware of the wait on busy days.

Comida buenísima y atención perfecta, los camareros son muy agradables. Recomiendo ir pronto y apuntarse en la lista y dar un paseo mientras ya que suele haber una media de espera de unos 45 minutos mínimo pero merece la pena (Translated by Google) Great food and perfect service, the waiters are very nice. I recommend going early and getting on the list and taking a walk while there is usually an average wait of at least 45 minutes but it is worth it.

This small bar exceeded expectations! A friendly staff member warmly opened up for us and served us fresh and delicious food. Beyond the tasty bites, they took time to chat, offering local advice on must-visit spots. A personalised experience that made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommended for a warm atmosphere and genuine hospitality.

Comida buenísima, atención muy buena también en todo momento. Lo único malo es tener que esperar para poder comer pero es comprensible dado el lugar privilegiado donde se encuentra y la calidad de la comida. Destacar la ensaladilla y la croquetas. (Translated by Google) Great food, very good service also at all times. The only bad thing is having to wait to eat but it is understandable given the privileged location where it is located and the quality of the food. Highlight the salad and the croquettes.

Probably the best restaurant in the whole region ! 100% the best in Setenil.. Let's start with something very important if you want to enjoy your meal here or anywhere else in this pretty village : come early. Get there by 13.00 – 13.30 and put your name on a waiting list. You can reserve some places by phone, but not this one. Too good, too busy. The waiter will tell you approximately how long you have to wait. In our case 30 minutes. Use that time to stroll around the village center. There are only two roads with caves, divided by a river. The restaurant is on one of these cave roads, so everything is at hand and time will fly. When you get back there is a good chance that there are still one or two before you. Get a drink or simply wait, taking in the scenery. Once you're seated get your order going asap, either because you have scanned the QR code before or because you have already chosen from the menu on their web. If you are unsure, ask the staff for recommendations or tell them any special requirements – we are used to Ribera de Duero, but were told that "la gallinita ciega" was far superior to their Ribera house wine...and so it was. In fact so much that we have now ordered a box of it. Virtually unknown wine with an excellent taste and cheap as chips ! As for the food, they have really tasty vegan options..as well as food for "normal" people (yes, I am the vegan in the family..). The food is good quality and served quickly. The staff are fast, efficient and very friendly. This is the number one restaurant in the village and it is easy to see why.

Great food and service. Big plates for decent price in a very turistic place. We waited for about 30 minutes to get a table, but we knew what we got into, we had seen the comments so we decided to come to this one. We had the croquetas, flamenquines and the parrillada for 2. A lot of food for 2, thankfully we were told that one more dish was too much. The flamenquines were a bit raw inside, but when we told the waitress they immediately took it and brought a new one, well cooked. It was all very good. The fries could be better though.

Fuimos a desayunar primeramente y después a comer. En el desayuno tienen un mollete de pueblo que merece la pena probar, surtido corto pero con los típicos sabores de siempre. En cuanto a la comida, pedimos berenjenas con rulo de cabra. El sabor del rulo predomina sobre la berenjena y no notas su sabor. Aún así, recomendaría el plato. Y de carne pedimos el lagarto recomendado por la camarera y estaba buenísimo. (Translated by Google) We went for breakfast first and then for lunch. At breakfast they have a village muffin that is worth trying, a short assortment but with the usual typical flavors. As for food, we ordered eggplant with goat roll. The flavor of the curl predominates over the eggplant and you don't notice its flavor. Still, I would recommend the dish. And for meat we ordered the lizard recommended by the waitress and it was delicious.

Restaurant
Restaurante Casa Palmero is a well-known dining spot in Setenil de las Bodegas, located beneath the rock in Plaza de Andalucia. The restaurant is famous for its local cuisine, with specialties such as migas setenilenas, pierna de cordero, and conejo de caza al ajillo. Despite not being on the main streets of the village, it's highly recommended for its delicious food.
Excellent food with great presentation. Super friendly staff. Located on a nice plaza.

Be warned that the prices on the menu on the street are not correct. Once you scan the code you will find the prices are up to €5 more for some meals. The waitress are also very rude!

I found the prices to be quite high for the amount and quality of food offered. They made us pay 1 euro for the dryest, most basic piece of bread I've ever been served. The vegetarians in the group asked for the scrambled eggs without jamón and, although they were assured it was possible, they ended up getting the eggs with the jamón Inside anyway. Only thing that was fine was the space and the niceness of the staff.

Great location,friendly and fast service but unfortunately a bit of a tourist trap.By far one of the most expensive beers i had in Malaga.7 eur on tap.The crochetas de rabo del torró even though big had only bechamel with a few strings of meat,potatoes soggy and from frozen bag.I do recommend this place for a quick stop but read the menu carefully.

Ok so firstly maybe it's just me but this place asks its clients to scan QR code to see their menu. I might be from another century but this was a first to me. Service was mediocre and could do better. Food... well I know it is Spain and it seems that in every restaurant here you get well seasoned food without asking... and there is hardly any veggies on side together with your food unless you ask... I do not get it but that's Spain for you. In general food was good but service was fair. Plus the QR menu...

Bar
La Tasca is a relaxed eatery that specializes in serving traditional Spanish small plates, paellas, and desserts. Located in the picturesque town of Setenil, it is known for its charming ambiance and delicious cuisine. The menu features a variety of delectable options such as an eggplant stuffed with goat cheese and honey, Flamiquin (a local delicacy), and a generous tomato and onion salad.
I really enjoyed it! So... Winter time - January - was sort of great sitting there because the sun came out and even tho outside it was pleasant. Location was stunning as well as the other restaurants there tbh because Setenil is a Jewel! We ordered the aubergine filled with goat cheese an honey - WOW - and Flamiquin and a giant tomato and onion salad . Super decent price and even if the food was mostly fried not heavy at all. Love it :)
Barbara Petreti — Google review
The location of the restaurant, in the caves of Setenil is beautiful, but this isn't gourmet dining for sure. I had the fried scuttlefish, each piece came with a different consistency (some super- chewy, some a lot less so). It was basically good bar food.
Talal Jabari — Google review
My second time visiting Setenil and eating at this place, where again...the food and service were exceptional! The refreshing air inside the restaurant, outside being 40 degrees, the waiting time for your order being very short, the politeness of the staff, all these are small aspects besides the delicious taste of the food. I heartily recommend the meat dishes, but the garlic prawn croquettes were also delicious, accompanied by a refreshing goat cheese salad. The cheese tart (Tarta de Queso) as here I have never eaten anywhere else is absolutely insane!!! 🤤 PS: Go dressed lightly because the portions are in large quantities and we didn't leave any leftovers on the plate 🫣
Andreea Calugaru — Google review
I had an espresso and I think it was one of the worst coffees I might have had in a long time. Its taste was very bitter and strong, rather than smooth which is what it should be like. I feel the staff was not engaging enough and they should be offering different products for a light meal/coffee.

No need to discuss about the location and the beautiful environment. The same with the food. We ordered sirloin beef steak or as they called it there “Solomillo de ternera”. Soft, fresh and delicious meat with fries and little bit spicy sauce aside. Perfect!!! Recommend 100%!
Monika — Google review
Of course this is a tourist-filled town, so you expect to pay the old tourist premium. However, for the most part La Tasca was great value. The Russian salad is certainly overpriced but everything else was very fair and tasty as well. Great location too, so definitely a great option for lunch.

I enjoyed taking a seat at your charming, little bar during my trip to Ronda. Your coffee is great! The toilets are clean and overall the layout of the establishment is quite cozy. I wish I had more time to stay inside and try out some food from your menu as well. I definitely recommend stopping by and having a morning cup of coffee here 😉👍

I cannot recommend this place enough! We were a group of 12 people. And each one of us had the best meal here while in Andalucia! The restaurant has a nice cozy vibe, even if it’s within a cave. Lovely staff, helped with photos of the menu. And the kitchen is open. Fried cheese with gem was heaven on earth :) The digestive liquor and coffee at the end was just perfect to end an our long day. I hope you have time to visit the cute town of Setenil de las Bodegas.

Deception. Prices are per dish. The waiter does not warn that the rubber squid costs 45 euros, although the price on the menu is 10 euros. This is a tourist scam. The taste is terrible. They just didn't eat it enough.
