Full Description
For Sale – Charming Village Home in Benizalón
Located in the picturesque village of Benizalón, perched at an altitude of 936 metres, this delightful two-bedroom property offers the perfect blend of traditional Spanish charm and modern comfort. Benizalón is a small, close-knit municipality with around 250 residents, predominantly Spanish with a few English nationals. Nestled within the Sierra de los Filabres, the village is set in a landscape of semi-arid hills and ravines, where almond groves are the principal crop.
The village itself is characterised by whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs, a beautiful Mudejar-style church, and a peaceful ambience that makes it a haven for those who enjoy walking, cycling, and nature. The surrounding scenery is truly breathtaking, with panoramic views in every direction.
Benizalón is also known for its annual pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Virgen de la Cabeza de Monteagud, a deeply revered religious site standing atop Monteagud Hill, approximately 4,000 feet above sea level. This hermitage, originally protected by a Muslim ribat known as Montahur, houses the venerated "Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Monteagud", also called "The Virgin of the Head". The sanctuary is one of the region's most iconic destinations and attracts pilgrims from neighbouring villages each year.
