About Coin
Coín is a town of about 25,800 people in the Valle del Guadalhorce, around 33 km west of Málaga and 30 km north of Marbella, at roughly 200 metres above sea level. It was in Moorish hands from 929 until 1485, and its old name was Dacaun; the modern name has nothing to do with money. Marble has been quarried here since Roman times, and the town later became known for ceramics in a colour called Green Coin. A large share of residents are foreign, and British viewers may know it from the BBC series Eldorado, which was filmed here. The Las Vistillas ethnographic museum covers 20th-century rural life in the valley. Homes are outside town.
