Discover Vegas de Coria: River, Routes and Culture

Vegas de Coria can be discovered through its water, routes and traditional cultural stories. In Vegas de Coria, a natural bathing area has been created by a dam on the Hurdano River. Its floor consists of the natural riverbed. The bathing area is located at the southern entrance to the village on the EX-204, next to the bridge over the Hurdano River. Along the riverbanks, there are green areas for walking and experiencing nature. The nearby meander and the course of the river are considered the main attractions of Vegas de Coria.

Those who choose a holiday apartment in Vegas de Coria can consider this waterscape, various routes and cultural features as different focal points when planning their stay. The landscape impressions relate to the riverbanks, the meander, the course of the river and the natural bathing area; each of these elements describes a separate aspect of the village. When planning your days, you can distinguish conceptually between paths by the water and the various routes without mixing up the different landscape experiences.

Routes through the Landscape

The “Rey Alfonso XIII por Las Hurdes” route leads from Caminomorisco via Cambroncino to Vegas de Coria. Its course connects several places in a fixed order. Another hiking route passes the reservoir that supplies Vegas de Coria with water.

The Senda de las Cigüeñas Negras route leads through the Valle de la Batuequilla. This valley is considered rich in juniper trees and native vegetation. The different types of routes help you compare excursions according to your preferred focus: one route connects places, another follows a valley with junipers and native vegetation, while the hiking route passes the reservoir.

History and Local Features

A legend from Las Hurdes tells that the Moors stayed for two hundred years in the Arrolamúa area of Vegas de Coria. Canchón de la Ro La Múa is also located in Vegas de Coria.

Vegas de Coria is also home to a rare craft tradition: figures, usually animals, are made from horn. The material and the preferred motifs give this craft a clearly defined character. For visitors looking for local features as well as landscapes, it offers a different thematic perspective from the riverbanks, bathing area and hiking trails.

Festivals in September

The Fiestas del Cristo take place in Vegas de Coria in September. The festival adds a seasonal highlight to the local calendar and complements the other landscape and route references described above with a cultural event. Together with the legend from Las Hurdes, Canchón de la Ro La Múa and the rare horn craft, this creates a picture of the village in which nature, history, festivals and craftsmanship stand side by side.
