Welcome to Polop de La Marina
The silhouette of Ponoch, the sleeping lion of Gabriel Miró, and the profile of the town with its tower and ancient cementery are emblematic of this attractive town. Polop is the place discovered by Gabriel Miró, whose house was situated at the beginning of the Guadalest road. Oscar Esplá lived here, as did Benjamín Palencia, whose workshop is still maintained. The famous Font dels Xorrets has 221 water spouts to offer the surprised visitor. The best walk is from here to the closed cementery, called by Gabriel Miró the orchard of crosses, which crowns the town. Polop still has the sharp local colour of the blue and white towns of the Alicante coast.
