Setenil de las Bodegas

Highlight • Settlement

The name Setil de las Bodegas emphasizes the rich history of the city. “Setenil” comes from the Latin words “septem nihil,” meaning “seven times no,” and refers to the seven failed attempts by Catholic rulers to regain territory from the Moors, who ruled much of Spain for centuries. The Catholics finally succeeded in the seventh attempt and established Setenil as one of the last Muslim strongholds in Iberia.
