[Untitled]
Introduction and History Benigembla is a town in Valencian Community, located in the Pop Valley within the district of Marina Alta in eastern Spain. The town is 314 meters above sea level. It is only 50 km away from Benidorm, 88 km from Alicante, 105 km from Valencia, and 23 km from Dénia.The town is of morish origin, like most towns in the Pop Valley. In 1609 more than 10.000 moors of the Pop Valley resisted the decree of expulsion, and they gathered in the mountain of El Cavall Verd or el Pop. At the end, the moors gave up because they were running out of food, water, and basic supplies. After giving up, most of the moors were expelled after suffering high casualties. During this time there was an influx of peoples mainly from the Balearic Islands and Catalonia.

Demography In 1615 the town had a population of only 99 inhabitants, and it reached its peak in 1860 with almost 900 inhabitants. From the 1900s to 1960 the town lost 34% of its population, since most of the locals migrated to the U.S., France, Germany, and Argelia. Today the village has 615 inhabitants, according to the latest census of the year 2007. About 34% percent of the population is foreign, mostly British, these newcomers started to come in the 1980s. But there is also a German and North American community in town. The district of Vernissa Park is largely English speaking, since most of the prople living there are British. It is a very flat town surrounded by mountains, which one can find very enjoyable and relaxing. The main language spoken by its local inhabitants is the catalan language, also known as valencian, which the majority of the population speaks and uses as their main language. After the decree of the expelling of the Moors in 1609, the town was populated mostly by inhabitants from Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. Most of the traditions of these settlers are still carried out today, together with the catalan language that they brought with them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.68.192.254 (talk) 06:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
