Pinoso (Spanish: [piˈnoso]), officially El Pinós/Pinoso (in Valencian and Spanish)^[2] is a traditional^{[clarification needed]} town which sits located in the mountainous countryside of the Alicante/Murcia border (at some 56 km from Alacant). 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.

There are 10 minor local entities within the municipality area: El Rodriguillo, Culebró, Les Enzebres, Ubeda, Cases d'Ibáñez or Les Casetes, Lel, Cases del Pi, El Paredó, La Cavallussa and Tresfonts.
