About the area

To get to Coin, you can fly into Malaga which takes around three hours from lots of UK airports - then it’s just over half an hour’s drive. Coin is one of the bigger towns in this part of Andalucia – its name comes from the Arabic word Cohine meaning Pleasant Paradise.

The countryside close to Coin has many hillside towns and villages that manage to remain tranquil and traditional despite being just a short hop from some of the liveliest resort towns on the Costa del Sol. It’s the perfect place to enjoy great views and beautiful scenery.
