Coín. 
 
Coín is one of the Andalucian towns that have yet to be touched by the tourist boom. It is just far enough from the coast to be out of reach of the high-rise hotels. The beautiful village of Coín is located at the cross-roads between Marbella and Mijas and is accessed by a brand new road network. 
 
Coín nightlife is good with something to suit all tastes, from traditional tapas bars and bodegas and good restaurants to modern air conditioned wine bars to night clubs and disco's. You will find it far cheaper than in the major tourist areas and there is something for every age group. To it's credit, Coín is one of the few places close to the Costa's that remains reasonably intact so far as 'Spanish-ness' goes. It is a place full of history and fame.
