Benidorm has existed since 1325 when it gained it´s town charter
from Admiral Bernat De Serria at Polop castle which was then part
of the kingdom of Valencia. The giving of town charters was
carried out until the 17th century as a way of removing the Moors
and allowing Christians to inhabit the area.
The first settlements in the area can be found at Montbenidorm a
hill in Cala Finestrat that you can see at the far end of the Poniente
beach. Here there are burial grounds and remains of an Iberian
settlement that dates back to the first century B.C.
