Benifato, a postage stamp of a village, is the smallest in the Marina Baixa region. It is often given the moniker, Puerta de Aitana, as an accolade for its status as the gateway to the awesome Aitana mountain range.
Sitting alongside Guadalest, Beniardá, Benimantell, Confrides and Abdet, Benifato is one of the pieces that make up the Guadalest Valley jigsaw. Blink and you might just miss it; so if you are driving, ease down on the accelerator, and follow the sign that leads you from the CV-70 road up into the village. If you are eager to stay and explore the area, and quietude is an attribute close to your heart, there are a handful of holiday homes in and around the village where you can settle in for a few days or more.
