Coin has long been a favourite for expats for a long list of reasons.

The charming town is just a 30-minute drive inland from the likes of Marbella on the Costa del Sol.

It has everything you need within a walking distance, including bars, restaurants and supermarkets.

Meanwhile, it is surrounded by picturesque countryside and prices are generally cheaper than the coast in terms of renting and buying – although that could soon change.

Coin resident and British expat Sam Adams told the Olive Press: “It’s away from the coast, which I like.

“It’s peaceful, quiet, and there’s virtually no traffic, plus I can park my car and walk everywhere, I dont have to drive to the supermarket etc.

“Watching the bustling coast disappear in the rear view mirror as you drive home is a feeling you can’t beat.”

He added: “I just much prefer Coin to the coast. While it has been much cheaper for years but prices are definitely going up as a lot of people want to move here.”
