Pinoso, with its population of about 7,000 is
set amongst the mountains in the western section of Alicante province,
right on the Murcia/Valencia border.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of the green pine groves of the Sierra
del Coto, Pinoso's residents are very friendly people and welcome visitors
to the area.
In 1826, Pinoso became independent from Monóvar and in February each
year, the 'Día del Villazgo' fair is held to commemorate the town's
independence as a municipality.
Pinoso is a prosperous town, its is said to be the fifth richest town in
Spain because of its salt and marble deposits. The salt that is extracted
from the area is processed and marketed by Torrevieja, whilst the marble is
worked by the inhabitants of nearby Novelda.
Pinoso's other main source of revenue is based on agriculture. The Monastrell grape is grown in this region, producing highly-rated red wines. Fields and groves of olives, almonds, grapes, cherries, apples, peaches, apricots and salad crops provide abundant harvest in wine, olive oil and raw produce.

contains an unusual image of the Virgen del Remedio - the Virgin Healer.

walls, Sierra del Coto with its marble quarries and the convent in the
