Benadalid, Malaga

Benadalid is right in the heart of the Genal Valley, the Guadiaro Valley also being within its municipal borders, along with the the mountainous area that separates both valleys. The countryside surrounding the urban centre is a mountain range that incorporates the Tajo de los Aviones, the Tajo de la Cruz and the Monte del Cuco, some of these peaks reaching more than 1,000 metres in height. The town of Benadalid is situated on the slopes of the mountain of the same name, with the houses following the lie of the land in a north-south direction. The layout of the town is in two distinct parts. The northern part that has a clear Moorish influence, and the southern part where the layout is more geometrical and where the religious and administrative buildings are located.
