Town Devoured By Rock

cornel — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:06:49 +0000

Setenil de la Bodegas, a city in Spain’s Andalucia region, is a major drawcard for tourists coming to Ronda precisely because of the cave houses along the banks of the river.
In Roman times nearby Acinipo (about 4km from Setenil) was the main Roman city south of Córdoba and even pressed its own coins. The hills around Acinipo were filled with Roman vineyards, and at Setenil the Romans themselves stored wine in the caves.
Today, there are several important vineyards located around Ronda Viejo (the ruined city of Acinipo) and Setenil de la Bodegas.

Other than being built into the rock, Setenil is also one of the typical White Villages of Andalucia; villages that try to stay as cool as possible in this hottest region of Spain by whitewashing their houses every year, as white reflects sunlight best.

From the world’s tallest bike, to another made entirely out of wood. Tree branch bike is my favorite, although the seat looks a bit uncomfortable.

Amazingly Unique Bridges

Opened in May of this year – the Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge in Sao Paulo, Brazil – is a stunning x-shaped cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Pinheiros river in Sao Paulo. It’s design is unique in that the two curved decks of the bridge cross each other through its x-shaped supporting tower, an illuminated structure that stands 450ft tall and has attached to it 144 steel cables.

Philips’ additions to the bridge were previewed on April 24th. The lighting accentuates the striking design and unique features of the bridge and improves drivers’ visibility. (Sponsored By Sell Gold Online)
