Benillup: What to see

Located in the Comtat region, the town of Benillup is a great option for those looking for a destination with a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere and a rural touch. In the town centre you will love to walk through its typical streets, and reach the Iglesia del Rosario, probably built with the remains of the Arab tower.

In Benillup the views are exceptional, as the municipality is surrounded by ravines, and we recommend you visit the Mirador de Travadell to take incredible photographs where nature blends with the cultivated land. You are sure to take away great memories of this panoramic viewpoint in the town centre!

Benillup's festivities are another great reason to visit the town and the best time to get in touch with its traditions. In August they celebrate the festivities of San Lorenzo, where the whole town participates and there are activities for all ages such as costumes, performances, bouncy houses, etc. And in February it is the turn of the festivities in honour of the patron saint, Santa Águeda, where, in addition to processions, there are usually large meals with friends and family.

But if there is a special night in Benillup, it is the night of San Juan, an event not to be missed, as a huge bonfire is set up in one of its main streets, creating a very magical atmosphere!

If you visit Benillup, you have to try their sequillos, a really delicious typical pastry, or the fried dried figs, with the aroma of muscatel wine! They also know how to prepare tasty olives. Do you want to prepare your getaway?
