Coín, Historic town in Guadalhorce Valley, Málaga Province, Spain.

The town spreads across the northern foot of Sierra de Mijas, surrounded by fertile farmland and orchards producing citrus fruits and vegetables.

Ancient Roman settlement Lacibis transformed into La Cobin during Arabic rule, with fortifications enhanced by Abderraman III in 929 during the Muladí rebellion.

Churches of Saint Andrew, Saint John, and La Vera Cruz stand as architectural monuments displaying the mix of Roman and Moorish influences.

Located 33 kilometers from Málaga, Coín connects to Marbella's beaches within 25 minutes and contains numerous hiking paths through Alpujata forests.

Local quarries supplied marble for the construction of Roman Italica, the birthplace of Emperor Hadrian, establishing Coín as a mineral trading center.
