Exploring Coin

Although the Finca doesn't have an address, it is located in Coin, so this morning we decided to explore our little city. Coin is hilly and, though not as picturesque as some of the other villages, still charming. Brendan and I found an Internet cafe while the family explored. We finished after 30 minutes and €0.43 to find them on the square, having been waiting for us for 20 minutes. Despite its seeming lack of activity, Coin is clearly home to many finca tranquilas.

We came home for a late lunch and quick swim before driving to Ronda, a white village hailed as the most beautiful town in Andalucia. It's no wonder, really, because Ronda is somehow perched over a seemingly infinite gorge. There's not as much to do in Ronda as there is to see. High up in town, the view could be straight out of Lord of the Rings. In the old Muslim quarter, Joan was excited to see the Cathedral. Carl bravely entered for several minutes, too. Everyone was happy to find a cute little cafe for drinks and tapas before we headed home.
