Setenil de las Bodegas builds a house under a rock in Spain
The village of #setenil de las Bodegas is an ancient Spanish village that still maintains its ancient state. The houses that are renovated or added on to fit in with the original environment are not outstanding. I went to buy some fruit in the shop and saw some walls that were made of rocks that were part of the mountain. Walking along the road, I saw a sedan that had parked under the rocks. They acted as part of the mountain, building houses to follow the shape of the rocks without cutting or damaging them. It was an amazing village. After walking around until I was tired, I went back to the parking lot to look around the car to see how much damage there was. There were no dents at all, just a few scratches that were barely visible. I didn't have to worry about this because I had bought full protection insurance. They would fix everything themselves without having to check the car when I took it back. So I felt somewhat relieved.
I read that you shouldn't miss eating at the restaurant under the rocks. It was past 2 pm, so I walked to see the restaurant under the rocks, which was near the parking lot. There were about ten restaurants lined up. They were under large rocks. On the other side was a large canal. Right now, the water level was very low, almost dry, with small rocks paving the floor of the canal. At that time, it was late afternoon and the restaurant was starting to get empty. I looked at the pictures of the food in front of each shop, but I didn't like any of them. None of them sold steak. Until I came to the last shop. Looking at the pictures, it seemed like I could eat, so I stopped at this shop.
A staff came to ask me. This person could speak some English, so I asked him to recommend something that wasn't a big plate. He recommended barbecue, so I ordered 1 stick and 1 can of Coke. After waiting for a while, the food came. It wasn't really big, but it was enough to fill me up. Looking at the other tables, most of the dishes were very big. My plate was so small that it was funny. Other people must have thought, what did I order? 😂🤣😂 The price was not cheap at all. It must be because everyone thinks the same thing. When you come here, you have to come and eat. After sitting for a while, tourists came and sat down until it was full. I was very lucky to come early. When I had already walked around the parking lot, it was noon. It was all full of tourists.
After that, I set the navigator to Ronda, entered the old town, drove to the parking lot...full... went to another place...full... also full along the road. After driving around for several times, I decided to go back. Driving back to the hotel, the navigator told me to drive into the military area again, so I went in again and circled out without asking. Then the navigator thought of something new and took me to the hotel again. That's it... #ronda #Spain #Europe
