Description
Benissa is one of the oldest and most charming municipalities on the Costa Blanca North, stretching from a medieval town center inland to an idyllic coastline.
The history of the town is rich and dates back to the Moorish occupation, which is still visible in the characteristic street plan and the name derived from the Arabic tribe "Banu-Issa". The climate is Mediterranean and mild, with the surrounding mountains providing a sheltered location and pleasant temperatures throughout the entire year.
The main attractions are the imposing Cathedral of the Puríssima Xiqueta and the ecological coastal route that winds along hidden bays with crystal clear water. The local gastronomy is known for its traditional sausages and stews such as "Putxero de polp", which are served in both rustic taverns in the village and exclusive seaside restaurants. For golf enthusiasts, the atmospheric Ifach Golf Club offers a technically challenging course with one of the most beautiful views of the Peñón de Ifach and the Mediterranean Sea.
The residents form a diverse community of local families and international residents who appreciate the peace, privacy, and authentic Spanish lifestyle of the municipality. The surroundings are characterized by a rolling landscape full of vineyards, ancient olive trees, and a rugged coastline with intimate beaches such as Cala Fustera and Cala Advocat. Living in Benissa offers many advantages, including a high quality of life in a green environment, an excellent infrastructure, and the perfect balance between culture, nature, and luxury.
