Benegiles is a municipality in Spain, located in the province of Zamora within the autonomous community of Castile and León. It lies in the northwestern part of the country, in a region characterised by a continental Mediterranean climate and a landscape of rolling plains and farmland typical of the Duero basin.
According to the 2004 census conducted by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), Benegiles had a population of 399 inhabitants. The municipality is one of many small, sparsely populated settlements in the province of Zamora, a largely rural area that has experienced gradual demographic decline over recent decades.
As a municipality, Benegiles holds the administrative status that in Spain denotes a self-governing local entity with its own municipal government, encompassing the settlement and its surrounding territory. Its small population and location in the Zamora province place it within the broader cultural and historical context of Castile and León, a region known for its medieval heritage and agricultural traditions.
