Pinoso, or as it is also known Pinos is nestled in amongst mountains right on the Murcia/Valencia border at a position 450 meters above sea level, it became independent from Monóvar in 1826 and is a prosperous town primarily active in vine monoculture and the extraction of salt and marble. For people looking for real Spain and true Spanish rural lifestyle this is it. The countryside of its extensive district provides a contrast between the green pine groves of the Sierra del Coto and the white limey soil of vineyards growing the Monastrell grape and produce highly-rated red wines. Rosé, white and Fondillón dessert wines are also produced and form part of the 'denominación de origen' wine area of Alicante. The Bodega Co-operative Wine cellar has a storage capacity of 14,000,000 litres. Pinoso produces and extracts salt, which is then processed and marketed by Torrevieja. The town also extracts marble to be worked by the inhabitants of Novelda. The countryside of its extensive district provides a contrast between the green pine groves of the Sierra del Coto and the white limey soil of the vineyards.
