At the southern entrance to Vegas de Coria, the natural swimming spot is located on the EX-204, beside the bridge over the Hurdano. It is formed by a dam; its bed consists of the natural riverbed. The location, road, bridge, and riverbed provide clear reference points to help you find your way around the area.
River Landscape and Nature
Along the riverbanks near Vegas de Coria, there are green spaces where you can stroll and enjoy nature. The nearby meander and the course of the river are considered the area's main attractions. The nature-related features offer different points of interest: a clearly located spot on the Hurdano, opportunities for walks along the riverbanks, and the shape of the river course. This lets you choose between a specific place by the water and a stay in the river landscape.
The swimming spot is defined by its dam and natural riverbed. The green spaces along the banks, by contrast, are associated with walks and enjoying nature; the meander and river course draw attention to the shape of the landscape. As local signage and access conditions may change, check them before your visit.
Routes and Their Different Highlights
The “Rey Alfonso XIII por Las Hurdes” route runs from Caminomorisco via Cambroncino to Vegas de Coria. It places the village in a clear sequence of several places: Caminomorisco is the starting point, Cambroncino lies along the route, and Vegas de Coria is its destination.
The Senda de las Cigüeñas Negras runs through the Valle de la Batuequilla. The valley is considered rich in junipers and native vegetation. A hiking route also passes by the reservoir that supplies Vegas de Coria with water. The routes therefore differ in their focus: a sequence of places, a valley and its vegetation, or the reservoir and the village's water supply. When choosing, consider whether you are more interested in a route between named places, a landscape connection, or a feature of local infrastructure.
Legend, Crafts, and the Fiestas del Cristo
A legend from Las Hurdes says that the Moors lived in the Arrolamúa area of Vegas de Coria for two hundred years. The story is part of the area's folklore as a legend. Vegas de Coria is also home to the archaeological site of Canchón de la Ro La Múa. One local craft is making figures from horn, usually animal figures.
These topics offer different cultural points of interest: Arrolamúa belongs to legendary tradition, the Canchón is an archaeological site, and the horn figures represent local craftsmanship. The Fiestas del Cristo take place in Vegas de Coria in September.
Choose Your Focus
When planning your trip, you can first decide whether you would like to discover Vegas De Coria mainly through its river landscape, a route, or its cultural connections. By the water, the swimming spot, green spaces along the banks, and river course each offer a different nature experience. For routes, their points of interest can help you choose; for cultural interests, the legend, archaeological site, and horn crafts offer different connections. September is when the Fiestas del Cristo take place, giving you another occasion to consider when planning your dates.
