Coin’s municipal territory stretches from the considerable heights of the Alpujata range, one of the mountain masses that separate the interior of the province from the western coast, to the centre of the Guadalhorce valley region. This descent is gentle but there are strong contrasts to be seen not only in the changing contours of the earth but also in the types of crops and vegetation. Thus, while pines and cork oaks abound in the mountains, the landscape of the lower elevations is dominated by orchards and gardens, and near the River Guadalhorce broad expanses of citrus and even subtropical crops make their appearance.

Coin is in the southern part of the Guadalhorce valley region, 38 kilometres from Malaga and 210 metres above sea level. The average annual rainfall is 610 litres per square metre.

Monuments:

The churches of Santa Maria de la Encarnacion, San Andres, and San Juan, Nuestra Senora de la Fuensanta hermitage, Torre de los Trinitarios (Trinitarians Tower), Sala Arqueologica (Archaeological hall in the church of La Encarnacion)

How to Get There :

There are four routes to Coiin from the Costa del Sol, but the one that is used the most leaves the city of Malaga by A-357 in the direction of Campillos. You will first come to Cartama, and at a very short distance from that village must take the A-355, which leads straight to Coin. You can likewise get to this locality by the N-340. Almost equidistant between Torremolinos and Malaga is the very well marked exit for the A-366, which first passes through Churriana, Alhaurin de la Torre, and Alhaurin el Grande before getting to Coin.

The other two access routes start at the Mediterranean Expressway (N-340). One of them is by the A-368 exit a few kilometres from Benalmadena; you must first go Mijas and later take the A-387 to Alhaurin el Grande, where you can connect with the A-366, which leads to Coiin. From Fuengirola (another of the access points) you must take the A-387 to Mijas, and from there follow the same route as previously explained.
