Benaventé, a town of Spain, in the province of Zamora, on the western bank of the Esla, 34 miles N. from Zamora. It is overlooked by a huge half-ruined castle, and is now a dull and poverty-stricken place, built chiefly of mud cottages. It was here that Moore's retreat commenced, 28th December 1808. Pop. 4507.
