El Camp de Mirra

Village · Camp de Mirra, el/Campo de Mirra, L'Alt Vinalopó, Alicante

El Camp de Mirra is a municipality in the Alto Vinalopó, in the northwest of Alicante, with 447 inhabitants (INE 2025), in the Benejama valley at the foot of the range of the same name. Beside the remains of the Castell d'Almizra, the Treaty of Almizra was sealed on 26 March 1244 between James I of Aragon and Alfonso X the Wise, which set the southern boundary of the Kingdom of Valencia and which the town commemorates every year. Its name, of disputed Arabic origin, was reshaped by popular etymology from Almizra into «el camp», by which it was known until Campo de Mirra was made official in 1849. The town centre, with low houses and wide streets, extends between the irrigated vega and the Cerro de San Bernabé, with the Sierra de Benejama, 982 metres high, to the north.
