The municipal area of Polop de la Marina
(Marina Baja region) is located north of Benidorm. The road that joins the
town of Benidorm with Callosa de Ensarriá normally accesses the town.
The most important geological unevenness of the area are the ravines that
run towards the east and the Ponoig Mountain, with an altitude of 1,181m
and located on the west of Polop. This Sierra is rough and rocky, has very
steep gradients and is covered with long slopes, tremendous crags and mountain
faces that accentuate its roughness. It is a Massif that runs from east
to west. The shady area is planted with pine trees and Kermes oaks and has
similarity with the Puig Campana Sierra. The almond and olive trees predominate
in the lower areas while the citrus, loquats, mangos and khakis do so in
the valley.
Seeing that the climate of the region is of Mediterranean maritime type,
it is characterized by hot summers, mild winters and very little rain (300
mm). This area has a higher rainfall pattern (500-600 mm), an average annual
temperature of 17° C that drops with altitude, where the frosts in winter
are common. It mainly rains in spring and autumn and there are frequent
thunderstorms where heavy rain falls in a short period of time and also
storms without rain. In winter, however, it is not difficult to find precipitation
of snow in the frozen areas of the municipality.
