In 1582, it appears for the first time as a settlement that belonged to jurisdiction of Orihuela, purchased by the College of Preachers. Its influence in the region became apparent when in the late 17th century, the town leads the regions recovery both social and economical when the fertile land in and around Benijofar became occupied as it had never been before. In 1729 it became officially recognized as a town under the Alfonsine Decree which allowed the town to become and independent municipally in the heart of the Alicante province.
The Town
The town of Benijofar is located on the south east coast of Spain, just 10 minutes away from the white sandy beaches of Guardamar and close to the Sierra of Orihuela mountains, an area which is known as the lower valley of the River Segura. The surroundings of this region are made up of traditional agricultural land, stunning natural backdrops which result in the one of the representative towns of the province, a jewel, if you if you will of the Costa Blanca. In actual fact, the very name originates from the arabic son of the pearl, making Benijofar the actual pearl of the Costa Blanca.
El Secano: This recreational area is the perfect place to relax within the confines of nature. It has a great picnic area, just the right place to spend those long summer afternoons. This area has tables and benches as well as BBQ for public use.
This small / big town south of the province of Alicante is made up of 4200 inhabitants and is just 8km from the beaches of Guardamar. Its peoples, although many are north European, are very active in the daily goings on of the town, mixing in the narrow streets of the older part of the town and enjoying the relaxed Mediterranean life.
What to discover in Benijófar:
The Orchard: On the banks of the river Segura there is an area of about 85 hectares of fertile land where vegetables such as artichokes, potatoes and broccolli grow, watered by the ancient wáter system designed by the Mores that settled in the region centuries. The water that irrigates these fields is moved by a recently renovated water wheel on the outskirts of the town.
The Water Wheel: The Benijofar Water Wheel dates back to 17th century and is a symbol of the local agriculture. The water wheel forms part of a group of historic structures of which the flour mil of Formentera also forms part. The original water wheel was substituted by an iron version in the 19th century with a 7.7m diameter wheel which can move around 80 litres per second.
Benijofar Rojales
The Green Trek: There is an enchanting yet easy trekking route that starts in the area called Path of the Rafaels that has a distance of 4.5 km which runs along the Banks of the River Segura and passes through the recreational area El Secano and which ends in the central town square of the Constitution. This green trek takes you past the water wheel and the luscious traditional orchards and fields of the town.
Benijofar is located just 8 km from the white sandy beaches of Guardamar that are over 15km long and bathed by cristal clear warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Guardamar, much like Benijofar, is unique in itself as it is the only coastal towns with a protected sand dune system, unique to the Costa Blanca. But not only is Benijofar close to the beaches of the Costa Blanca, Benijofar is also located between many, much larger towns so it is an economic hub for the surrounding region but also close to areas with a much broader comercial offer, such as Orihuela Costa, which is only 15 minutes drive away or Torrevieja, 10 minutes away by car. Torrevieja can also offer services and amenities of a large city as it has 2 hospitals, several marinas and a large shopping centre with Carrefour hypermarket as you access the city from Benijofar. As the access from Benijofar to the A7 motorway is little more than 5 minutes away from the town centre, travelling abroad is made easier as this allows you to be just 20-25 minutes from Alicante and Murcia airport or, if you are travelling within Spain, around 30 minutes to Alicante train station where the high speed AVE train makes several stops a day, to and from Madrid.
