Make a holiday rental villa or castle in Coin, Spain your home away from home

Coin, in the Rio Grande Valley, set back from the coastline of Spain’s Costa del Sol, is one of the regions best rising stars. Some may recognise the village as the set for the TV series ‘Eldorado’, but Coin is a great holiday destination in its own right. Set in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas and surrounded by fruit trees and citrus groves, a holiday rental in Coin, Spain is a great place to relax among the immense natural beauty.

Things to do on holiday in Coin, Spain

Coin is a town deeply wrapped in history. Established long before the Roman occupation, the town boasts an enormous wealth of interesting historical sites, and was awarded the title of city in 1925 by King Alfonso XIII, despite its tiny size and village feel. The Church of San Juan has been declared a National Monument.

When you first arrive in your Coin holiday rental villa, walk to the beautiful plaza at the centre of town, where many hours are spent in pavement cafes, watching the world drift by. There are several great restaurants, adorned with luxurious fountains and gardens, and neighboured by small, family owned boutiques.
