General information about Benitachell

Benitachell has a surface area of 1265 km² and, in 2001, it had 3425 inhabitants. The number of inhabitants has since grown, in part because of the building of the subdivision of Cumbre del Sol. This new urbanization is built on the mountain Cumbre. By 2006, Benitachell had 4276 inhabitants. Benitachell is an independent town, founded in 1698, and is an important service centre for the large surrounding agricultural areas of the Costa Blanca, especially for the area that grows the Muscatel grapes.

History of Benitachell

In the alcove of Cova del Moro, prehistoric discoveries have been found which date back to 18.000 years ago. Other historical findings in this area show a long history of occupation by Iberians, Romans and Andalucians. After the area was conquered by the Catalan-Aragonians in 1244, historical circumstances led to this area of Alqueria de Benitachell being deserted. Colonists came back in 1698 and this time they called their “pueblo” Poble Nou de Benitatxell.

At the present time, the main economical sectors are agriculture, the production of muscatel grapes and the service industry.
