Setenil de las Bodegas is no ordinary town in Spain. Why? Because it is located beneath a giant rock with an average temperature of -54˚ F. Yet, somehow, humans have managed to live in this seemingly inhospitable place and convert it into a one-of-a-kind home, with around 3,000 residents. Sounds dangerously exciting place, right? Wait till you see the photos.
No kidding, that’s a huge rock!
