History & geography

History

The history of Senija has been linked to Benissa, a nearby town. In the 16th century it was populated exclusively by Moors; until 1535, when it was annexed to the parish of Benissa. Little is known about its town charter after the expulsion of the Moriscos, but in 1622 it had a population of 33 Christian families, a significantly lower number than in the last years of the Moorish period, showing the economic damage suffered due to the expulsion. In the 17th century it belonged to the Zapata family, who were merchants and knights. In 1794 it had 121 families who were mainly engaged in the production of raisins destined for export. In recent decades, its population has significantly decreased.

Geography

Senija is stretched out at the foot of a small mountain, so it looks like a continuation of the mountainside. The municipality's terrain is uneven. It is located on the left bank of the Autovía A-7 (also known as the Autovía del Mediterráneo), from which you can access the town by taking the exit at Benisa. It is also connected by the CV-750 road which, from Parcent, passes through Alcalalí and Jalón.
