Beniali (Vall de Gallinera)

Highlight • Settlement

Beniali is the central village of the Vall de Gallinera, a hidden valley in the Costa Blanca surrounded by almond and cherry orchards. This picturesque spot is rich in Moorish history and traditional Mediterranean charm, with narrow streets and whitewashed houses that reflect the authentic character of inland Spain. The Vall de Gallinera is a true paradise for cyclists and hikers, offering winding roads, quiet gravel tracks and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the Serra de la Foradà. In spring the valley transforms into a sea of blossoms as the cherry trees bloom, making it one of the most spectacular natural sights in the region. Starting from Beniali, you can easily explore the other small villages of the valley, enjoy panoramic climbs and descents, and discover peaceful landscapes far from the coast. With its tranquil atmosphere, local cafés and traditional restaurants, Beniali is both a perfect base and a memorable stop on any cycling or hiking adventure through the Costa Blanca.
