| An important town
in the region, Coin also contains a number of places and features
of interest to the tourist thanks to its geographic location at
the foot of the sierras which make up the coastal range. Spots of
immense beauty to be found here include the forests of Alpujata,
La Fuente, El Charco del Infierno and La Albuquera.
Though Coin dates back to the Roman era, it is essentially an Arabic
town. Its urban structure has changed as a result of its economic
strength, yet it still retains some of its original features.
Its most noteworthy monuments are the churches of St. Andrew, St.
John and La Vera Cruz, along with La Fuensanta Chapel.
