Tuesday, October 6, 2020

A GROUP of eight cultural guides has visited Coín, is a small town and municipality in the province of Malaga, Spain, with an intention to learn about the history and culture of this region and at the same time offer those in their tourist packages and turning Coin into a tourist hotspot in the coming days.

This group from the Association of Cultural Guides AGP Malaga toured the historic centre of the town. Francisco Santos; the Mayor, the Councilor for Tourism, Cristóbal Ortega, and the Councilor for Culture, Dori Luque, went to the Convent of Santa María de la Encarnación to welcome this group and congratulate them in showing their interest to promote tourism in this exotic town.

“This visit is great news for the future of our town. Every time more tour guides are interested in making the history and culture of Coín known, with which we are very happy, ”said the Coin councilor.

“We want to know Coín in-depth because we are interested in making it known for tourism and attracting visitors who are currently nationals,” said Antonia Leote, one of the participating guides.

The route of this tour kick-started from Plaza Alameda and from here, they explored the historic centre of Coín. They did it at the hands of Coineño Francisco Marmolejo, the historian who was in charge of advertizing about the history of this town via the streets, buildings, and squares until reaching the Convent of Santa María de la Encarnación.

From that point, he handed over the tour to Manolo García, from the García Agüera Foundation. He then continued the day with a special guide through the Antonio Reyna Manescau Centre, which emphasizes the life and work of the town’s well-known and universal painter.

“We have a great heritage of enormous wealth and potential to make known to all those people who choose a type of inland tourism, quieter, but very well connected with Malaga capital and the entire Costa del Sol”, Santos highlighted.

From today, Ortega said that a large group of professionals will be able to incorporate Coín into their tourist package.

“They already have the necessary information to go back to the municipality bringing tourists and visitors who want to know our town and our heritage,” he stressed.

The Coineño councilor wanted to express his thanks, on the other hand, both Marmolejo and García for the guidance imparted to this group and to the Tourist Office of the municipality for “the great work that is being done to achieve the greater projection of the town.”
