Amazing the town lives under a rock

Between a rock and a hard place! Amazing pictures that show the town that really lives under a rock
Town built along a narrow river gorge eroded by the Rio Trejo river in Spain
Many of the houses are built into and under the walls of the gorge itself
Inhabitants have lived there since pre-historic times
The extraodinary Setenil de las Bodegas, where white village where houses are cut into the rock

The gorge eradicates the need to build entire houses, they can live in the gnarled caves and just construct a facade
Sentinel's bars, restaurants and food shops are widely regarded as being the best in the region
Prized delicacies such as chorizo, olive oil, honey, jam and Andalucian wine are all sold in the town

Living under a rock: The sheltered caves are perfect for blocking out the hot and cold temperatures
