In the village of Coin there are various shops with hand made ceramics on sale.
From Alhaurin follow the signs to Coin.
This stretch winds through lush agricultural terrain with densely
populated groves of orange and lemon trees stretching off into the
distance.
In fact, in bygone years, the area was called the
'town of 300 orchards'. Nobody's counting these days but the trees
still seem to be here.
The fortress town of Coin
has a population of some 20,000 and, according to locals, Christopher
Columbus was among the royal followers when the Catholic monarchs
laid siege to the town in the mid-fifteenth century. No chance of
bypassing the town even if you choose to, the road weaves through
the bustling centre, past the colourful local fruit and veg market.
Coin is difficult to navigate but follow the signs
from Monda and Marbella and not Ronda for our Coin
to Monda route.
