The village of Coín sits in the Valle del Guadalhorce at the foot of the Sierra
de Mijas. This village is knee-deep in history and has roots that pre-date its
Roman occupation. Magnificent marble was quarried at Coin for the nearby Roman
town of Italica. The town was given a new lease of life by the Moors after it
had been abandoned during the time of the Visigoths. It is a popular tourist
location due to its proximity to Malaga Airport and
Marbella; indeed, it is
called the “30 Minute Town”. It is a popular place for ex-pats to settle and it
has its own Foreign Resident’s Department where foreigners can get a lot of
information and advice about living in this part of Spain.
Main Tourist Attractions
A trip to Coin would not be complete without admiring the vast amount of
fountains dotted around the village. These were the main source of drinking
water for the residents until fairly recently. The village is also home to
several architecturally beautiful and important churches. The Tower of the
Trinitarians is a 17th century example of some rare Spanish architecture. It has
a triangular base and is an example of one of only three of its kind in
Andalucía. The San Juan church is one of the largest in the province of Malaga
and has been adopted as a national monument. The La Trocha centre is home to a
gym, arcade, cinema and nightclub.
Shopping Opportunities
The village has authentic narrow streets where you will find a myriad of
family-owned businesses selling a range of items such as baby clothes and art &
crafts. The village also hosts a local market every Saturday, which is popular
with locals and visitors. Just outside the village is the large shopping centre,
La Trocha, which has a range of shops selling authentic Spanish clothes, books,
leather goods, jewellery, games and electronic items. There is a Boot Sale held
in the car park of the shopping centre every Sunday. Here you will find clothes,
plants, jewellery, preserves, rugs and designer furniture, to name but a few. If
your haggling skills are up to scratch you are bound to walk away with a
bargain!
Eating out and Nightlife
For being a relatively small village, coin has a lot to offer in terms of cafés,
restaurants and bars. It has many authentic Spanish restaurants that offer
tortilla, pasta, fine wines and tapas. International cuisine such as Indian and
Chinese food is also catered for, as the village is located in a busy tourist
area. The bars are full of friendly locals and several ex-pats have set up their
own establishments in Coin.
The nightlife in Coin is very calm within the centre of the village itself. For
those whose ideal night out is a stroll through the traditional streets and some
beautiful food and wine outside a restaurant, Coin is the ideal location. For
those who like a bit of dancing and music, there is a nightclub located in the
La Trocha shopping centre on the outskirts of the village.
