Benissa, one of the oldest municipalities on the Costa Blanca, is located between Calpe and Teulada-Moraira. Compared to the well-known coastal towns, Benissa appears more reserved, but this is precisely what makes it so attractive. The town offers historic architecture, a Mediterranean lifestyle and an established social fabric that is just as popular with international residents as it is with locals.<\/p>\n

The tranquil municipality of Benissa combines a historic old town with a picturesque rocky coastline and surrounding vineyards, allowing visitors to experience Mediterranean tranquillity and a lively, evolved social fabric in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n

In this unspoilt coastal town with its rocky coastline and surrounding vineyards, you can feel Benissa and nature in every winding alleyway, where Mediterranean tranquillity and historical depth come together harmoniously.<\/p>\n\n\n

The town is clearly divided into two characteristic zones: the old town centre in the interior and the coastal region of Benissa Costa, which impresses with its quiet beaches, picturesque bays and elegant villa districts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The centre of Benissa is located around 4 km from the coast and is one of the best-preserved historic towns in the region. The alleyways around the Plaza de la Iglesia, the Pur\u00edssima Xiqueta cathedral and the Franciscan monastery tell of a time when Benissa was an important trading centre.<\/p>

In the heart of the city, small shops, tapas bars, cultural institutions and traditional festivals characterise daily life - far away from the typical tourist hustle and bustle. The town hall and central contact points for official and municipal services are also located here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
