agree Anne Smith Campbell : Totally! You have to go through "aldea de Daimalos" , it's the only way to get to the Castle of Bentomiz... They mention an "interesting" part of the town by the way, but it is definitely just the "obligatory passageway"! Not a "must-see" town!

you'll pass through there anyway on your way to the ruins of Bentomiz Castle

Daimalos is situated about midway between Corumbela (mentioned at the beginning of your context) and Arenas, which is where Bentomiz (also spelt Benthomiz) Castle is situated. So Daimalos is "en route" or "on the way" from Corumbela to Benthomiz Castle. Hope you can see the map in the link.
