We had a guided tour of some interesting places in Coín. We were really lucky to be escorted by Laura, who lives in Coín and knew all the best places to show us. The tour resulted in four topics:-
The old Convent. This is now used as municipal offices, museum and exhibition halls.

The Church. The priest is an avid falconer and breeds birds. He brought two birds outside for us to photograph - the rest of his birds were hidden away, nesting.

The Mill. This is a very old mill which is still working, but now powered by electricity. There are two stone wheels that grind the flour, of which they make several kinds.

Bakery. This has been run by the same family for some 200 years. The only electricity used is for lighting. All the kneading etc is done by hand and the oven is heated by burning wood.
