Banedalis is located in the middle of “El Valle del Genal”, with a population of some 300 inhabitants and situated in the eastern hillside of the crag of the same name.

The town centre, has two zones, the northern half, with a layout of clear Arabic origin and all the area around the principal square, with a more rectilinear layout.

There is written testimony from Roman times that relates to the existence of a Celtic settlement in “La Serranía”.

Despite the defensive system of the castle and the watchtower, the town could not endure the Arabic attack of the Eight Century, who go on to occupy their lands until the arrival of Los Reyes Católicos in 1494. Like many other towns in the vicinity, it staged many a bandit act and suffered the consequences of the War of Independence.

The castle of Benadalid, which dates from the Eight and Nineth Centuries and is presently used as a cemetery, is the most important monument to be visited. The festive calendar has many important dates: from the August festivities in honour of San Isidro, passing through the feast day of “La Virgen del Rosario” in October, to the curious theatrical representation in verse drama of “Moros y Cristianos” (Muslims and Christians) organised in August.

Here you have a dozen country houses, which can be enjoyed at any time of the year, have been prepared for those who love peace and contact with nature.
