Camping place of the Almoravid army, within sight of the walls of Valencia. Perhaps the modern height called Puntal de Besori, 361 m high, 16 km southwest of the city.
And when night came they remained still upon the walls, for it was dark, and they saw the great fires of the camp of the Almoravides, which they had pitched near unto a place called Bacer; and they began to pray unto God, beseeching him to give them good speed against the Christians, and they resolved as soon as the Almoravides were engaged in battle with the Cid, that they would issue forth and plunder his tents.
