          Discovering Coín: The Traveller’s Guide

          Explore Coín, a charming Andalusian village with cobbled streets, traditional architecture and lively festivals. Enjoy its delicious food and Andalusian hospitality.

          What to visit in Coín? 🌿

          • Mirador de España: The Mirador de España, La Roja, near Coín, offers sweeping views of the village and features a central fountain. You can admire the graffiti mural by the Málaga-based artist Doger, dedicated to children and featuring a fantasy theme.
          • Barranco Blanco: Barranco Blanco is a spot with crystal-clear waters, white rocks and lush vegetation, situated between Alhaurín El Grande and Coín. This natural paradise, fed by the constant flow of the River Alaminos, is home to otters, barbel and various protected species, as well as being a Site of Community Importance (SCI). The water emerges where the river comes into contact with the peridotites, the magmatic rocks of the area, creating beautiful pools suitable for swimming, although caution is advised to preserve the natural balance of the environment.
          • Reyna Manescau Centre: The Antonio Reyna Manescau Centre in Coín is dedicated to commemorating the renowned local painter (1859–1937) in his birthplace. The centre’s galleries house an extensive collection of the artist’s original works, photographs, documents, research materials, publications, bibliographies, personal belongings and other interesting items. These exhibitions offer visitors detailed insights into the life and exceptional artistic skill of this master of 19th-century painting.
          • Church of St John the Baptist: Dating back to the 16th century, construction of the Church of St John the Baptist began in 1505 and it was designated a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 2010. Queen Isabella the Catholic ordered that the land of the former Muslim fortress be ceded for its construction, incorporating a square tower from the castle which now serves as the bell tower.
          • Guadalhorce Farmers’ Market: Held every Sunday, this market offers a wide range of locally sourced produce: fresh produce, bread and baked goods, cured meats and other meat products, cheese, honey and various handicrafts. The market’s popularity stems from the freshness and high quality of its produce, combined with a direct-from-producer-to-consumer approach, with everything sourced from Coín.
          • Calle Cachitos: This charming street in the heart of Coín is known for its balconies and façades, which are decorated with numerous flower pots all year round. Its name comes from the coloured marble chips that make up its paving. Among its attractions is a mural by local artist Jalo (Juan Antonio Luna Osorio), which presents a modern take on Velázquez’s famous painting ‘The Surrender of Breda’.
          • Chapel of Our Lady of La Fuensanta: This Mozarabic-style rock-hewn church, known as the Chapel of Our Lady of La Fuensanta, is situated in one of the most picturesque areas of the Coín countryside, Pereila. It is known that the site already existed in 1529, but the current structure dates from 1680, with several renovations carried out in the 18th century.

We’ll walk amongst typical riverside vegetation (riparian vegetation) such as almencinos, white poplars, black poplars, tarajes, osier, reeds, rushes and cattails, as well as eucalyptus trees and farmland, predominantly citrus groves. Along the route, we’ll be able to spot a variety of wildlife, particularly birds, but we’ll also come across turtles, amphibians, fish and the occasional fox.
          • PR-A 311 Castillejos: This is perhaps one of the most impressive trails in Coín, due to its length, its difficulty, and the need for a good sense of direction, but above all for the scenery and the spectacular views it offers, not to mention the fact that we’ll reach two of the most iconic peaks of the Sierras Negra and Alpujata: the Cerro del Águila, at 1,034 metres, which serves as a vantage point overlooking the Mediterranean, and the Pico Castillejos, at 1,073 metres, which is the highest point in the range.

          Cubo’s Owners’ Summit: the event of the year for owners

          On Friday 20 October, our Cubo’s Owner’s Summit took place at the Antonio Gala Theatre (Alhaurín el Grande, Málaga), attended by more than 400 property owners from the Costa del Sol and the Guadalhorce Valley.

          An event of local significance

          The Cubo’s Owner’s Summit took place at 7 pm at the Antonio Gala Theatre, with a large number of owners who rely on Cubo’s Holiday Homes to manage their holiday properties. We were also honoured to welcome a number of prominent local figures, including Anthony Bermúdez, Mayor of Alhaurín el Grande; Luis Guerrero, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Tourism in Alhaurín el Grande; Macarena Herrera, Councillor for Economic Development in Alhaurín el Grande; Toñi Ledesma, Vice-President of the Málaga Provincial Council; and María Rosa Morales, Regional Delegate for Development, Territorial Coordination and Housing in Málaga.

          Start of the event: The evolution of Cubo’s Holiday Homes

          The CEO of Cubo’s Holiday Homes, Juan Cubo, opened the event with an introductory talk about the company. With more than 350 properties under our management, the company has undergone significant growth in recent years, and our CEO also highlighted the unique value that the Cubo’s holiday rental platform brings to property owners.

          High-level informative sessions

          The event was organised into three main sections. The first section featured contributions from key company partners. Renowned experts, such as Javier Rodríguez and Irene Codina from Booking.com, María Flores from Beyond, Beatriz García from Cubo’s Property Owner Services, Ben Smith from Checkin Scan, Gabriel Pérez from Roomonitor and Santiago Tobón, founder of Aloja Experience, shared their knowledge and experiences.

          The second session focused on legal and administrative issues and featured Mar Alcázar, a lawyer and founding partner of BoldRentals, alongside Álvaro Graciani, a lawyer and economist. Noelia Trujillo, Managing Director of VITUR SUMMIT, and María Jesús de Llano, Municipal Tourism Officer at Alhaurín el Grande Town Council, also joined the discussion.

          The third session was dedicated to the owners of Cubo’s Holiday Homes. During this segment, awards were presented to the top-rated properties in 2023, and SICTED certification plaques were handed out, representing the Commitment to Tourism Quality promoted by the Secretary of State for Tourism.
