Polop de la Marina is a picturesque town located inland in the province of Alicante, within the comarca of Marina Baja. With a population of around 5,000, this charming village lies at the foot of Mount Ponoig — also known as the “Sleeping Lion” — just 10 km from the Mediterranean coast and popular tourist destinations like Benidorm and Altea.
The old town of Polop is known for its tiered layout and cobbled streets that lead up to the hilltop where an ancient Arab castle once stood. Today, this elevated site offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, the sea, and nearby villages. On the same hill, you'll find the old cemetery lined with cypress trees and several panels that explain the rich history of the town.
One of Polop’s most iconic landmarks is the Font dels Xorros (Fountain of the Spouts), with over 200 water spouts, surrounded by cafés and terraces — a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Other highlights include the San Pedro Apóstol Church, built in neoclassical style, and the literary murals scattered through the town center, paying tribute to writers like Gabriel Miró, who found inspiration here.
Beyond its historical heritage, Polop offers an exceptional natural setting, with hiking and cycling routes that explore the Sierra del Ponoig and connect with the Serra Gelada Natural Park. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking peace, nature, and culture just minutes away from the beaches of the Costa Blanca.
Thanks to its strategic location, Polop offers the serenity of a mountain village with easy access to the region’s main tourist hubs.
