Benigembla and BIMAU: An Open-Air Museum

Mediterráneo en Acción invites you to discover Benigembla, a small town in the heart of Vall de Pop in La Marina Alta in Alicante. Surrounded by mountains, tradition and calm, its narrow stone and whitewashed streets exude a special charm.

Today, thanks to BIMAU, this corner of the world has also been transformed into an open-air museum that invites you to explore it with new eyes. Press play and enjoy its beauty, brimming with colour, history and memories!

What to See in Benigembla: Tradition, Nature and Art

Benigembla is full of places with something special, such as the old Trade Union building, now converted into a cultural space, which hosts activities that keep the social pulse of the town alive. We also recommend San José Parish Church, with its nine altars and mixture of styles, to complete a tour where past and present meet.

The more active will find routes and trails winding past riuraus, traditional raisin drying rooms, that are a testament to its rich cultural heritage and, above all, a landscape as hospitable as the inhabitants of this beautiful valley.

Meanwhile, thanks to Benigembla’s BIMAU, facades, corners and public spaces have been transformed by reinterpreting legends, symbols and elements of the environment.

From the myth of the Flying Fish in the old municipal washing place to representations of a thistle, an owl and Les abelles, patrimoni de la Humanitat (Bees: Heritage of Humanity), all these spectacular murals connect with history, nature and the local economy. Don't miss this creative journey and come and visit BIMAU in Benigembla!
