The Marina Alta is a region protected by the PDO Alicante for the production of wines. Especially, Muscat vines of Alexandria are grown and, as inks, preferably turned. It is characterized by a great diversity of soils, valleys and mountains of significant height. The crop is developed in the center of Valles such as the Pop River or on terraces with different altitudes. The influx of the breezes is very important as it is a region surrounded by the sea when the Cabo de San Antonio is formed. The cultivation of the vineyard is one of its most important cultural heritages, since wineries have been established for more than 2600 years ago and the trade of wines and oils has been registered precisely from the port of Dénia, capital of this region of Alicante.
