About Benadalid
A village of Moorish history reflected in its name, Benadalid, (Bena meaning in Arabic, a hill village,) and also in its unique square castled formation, the only one of this form and style in the whole of Andalucia. The surrounding countryside gives way to stunning mountain views, both up to the village, and the far reaching rocky mountain ridge skirting the horizon line behind, a white hill village, known for its cultural activities and the famed Moorish and Christians re-enactments.
