Pinoso has a population of 7,000 and is set amongst the mountains with beautiful green pine groves of the Sierra del Coto, hence its name (EL Pinos). It is a prosperous town and said to be the fifth richest town in Spain due to its salt and marble deposits. Pinoso has a real sense of community. This is particularly apparent in August when the whole town shuts up shop and takes to the streets for ten days of festival. There is also the popular Dia del Villazgo Fair, which takes place in February.
Jumilla is surrounded by endless fields of vineyards. The possibilities offered by this region are plentiful. One has the option of visiting the archaeological sites from the Bronze and middle Ages, and Roman times, as well as an interesting collection of Iberian artefacts. The breeze from the nearby Sierra de El Carche refreshes the heat of Jumilla´s vine-covered territory, with its fiestas (festivals) such as the Vendimia, or Grape Harvest (mid August).The town is spread out around the base of a castle which presides over the surrounding area. The Church of Santiago in Jumilla is a national monument worth a look with its gothic, renaissance and baroque features. Many enjoyable hours can be spent wandering around the narrow streets looking at both the humble and the fine houses of the aristocracy, many of which have now been renovated to their former 17th & 18th century glory.
