Don Benito is a very interesting destination in the province of Badajoz.
Founded in the 15th century, it grew after the depopulation of Don Llorente due to flooding of the Guadiana River.
Its name comes from Don Benito Velázquez Dávila, who donated land for the settlement.
Today it is one of the largest municipalities in Spain (561 km²) and the economic center of the Vegas Altas region.
