Overview
Don Benito has 37,048 inhabitants, and is part of an urban area with Villanueva de la Serena (26,071 inhabitants) 5 km away.
It dates from the 15th century, when it was founded by refugees from Don Llorente, who deserted their own town due to the danger of floods from the Guadiana. Besides manufacturing brandy, flour, oil, soap, linen and cloth, it has an active trade in wheat, wine and fruit, especially melons.
