Walking around looking at some of the lovely Arab architecture!

The two parish churches: San Andres, more known as the Caridad having formed part of the hospital with that name, and San Juan, dedicated to San Juan Bautista, from the 16th century and reformed in the 18th century. This church has an official declaration of National Monument.

The church of Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz, situated on the outskirts of the town and built in the first third of the 16th century

The church of Santa Maria de la Encarnacion, a construction erected between 1485 and 1486 over an old mosque and next to a tower, which is the actual bell tower, is another one of the singular buildings in Coin.

Outside Coin, on the road which leads to Monda, is the chapel or sanctuary of the Virgen del Fuensanta, which they began building in 1544 and the works lasted until 1620, therefore 76 years.

One of the best horse shows takes place in Coin in March – be sure to check these dates with the ayuntamiento (town hall)

On the first Sunday in May the pilgrimage to the chapel of Ntra. Sra. de la Fuensanta is organized.

The traditional fair usually takes place from the 10th to the 14th of August, while in the first week of May they celebrate the so-called May fair because of the day of the Cross.
