Setenil was one of the most costly conquests for the
Christian troop. They were able to take all the surrounding
fortresses but not this one. Seven times they tried
and seven times had to give up the idea, which is
how it got the name “September nihil”.
The wine business arrived later, although today there
are only private wineries. Setenil sits on the Route
of the White villages and its distinctive beauty is
surprising since most of the houses are dug into a
mountain and for roofs have the mountain rock itself.
One of the best ways to get to know this town is to
wander through its nooks and corners sampling the
Tapas.
Its Holy week which has been declared of National
Tourist Interest in Andalucia, is notable for the
great attachment which the population feels for it
and the cultural traditions it displays the most unusual
being the rivalry between the two brotherhoods, Santa
Vera Cruz and nuestro Padre Jesus a rivalry that two
years ago was translated into the so-called War of
the Bands. For you to learn all its charms. Setenil
offers a wide assortment of rural houses and farms
for relaxation. Cadiz province
