Pinoso

Pinoso is a traditional Spanish town which sits located in the mountainous countryside of the Alicante/Murcia border (at some 56 km from Alicante). This traditional town is renowned for the production of fine wines, rock salt and marble. Pinoso has a population of 7,300 and a municipal area of 126 km2. Recently it has experienced a growth in tourism: since the coast line has virtually no more room for new residentials, these are moving inland into the province.Notable people José Mira Mira (1945–2008), Spanish and universal scientist Pedro Solbes Mira (born 1942), Spanish politician, former minister of economic affairs, of Spain, and also former European commissioner for economic and monetary affairs in the European Commission (European Union).
