Benigembla has one of the lowest altitudes of the villages in Alicante province. It is situated on level ground at the foot of the Cavall Verd Sierra, next to the Xaló/Gorgos River as it flows between the Cavall Verd and el Carrascal de Parcent sierras. Though Castell de Castells is the leading village of the Valle del Pop, Benichembla is the first village with typical 'valley' agriculture: vines and citrus fruits are grown and grapes are left to dry in the ancient 'rius-raus' (drying houses). The raisins are then sent to Dénia to be shipped all over Europe. The village is built on flat ground at the foot of the Sierra del Cavall Verd and is mainly involved in growing citrus fruit.
