Coria, the city of the Last Supper tablecloth, surrenders to the flavors of oil and honey.

Located in the north of the province of Cáceres , the city of Coria is a privileged enclave close to the Sierra de Gata and Hurdes mountains to the north, the Ambroz, Jerte, and Vera valleys to the east, the Tagus rivers to the south, and Portugal to the west. It is a peaceful, welcoming town, with landscapes shaped by gentle hills of forest and scrubland and a historic center that has been considered a Site of Cultural Interest with the category of Historic Site since 1993.

A stroll along the irregular layout of its streets, created during the Middle Ages, reveals emblematic buildings such as the 16th-century Cathedral of Santa María de la Asunción , built on the remains of an earlier temple and belonging to the Diocese of Coria-Cáceres; the Cathedral Museum ; the Episcopal Palace ; the 15th-century Castle ; the Royal Prison ; the 16th-century Convents of the Mother of God and San Francisco ; and its Castle , whose Keep was designed by the architect Juan Carrera at the behest of the Duke of Alba. This work of military engineering was built on top of an earlier fortification undertaken by the Templars in the 12th century. From it, you can see the entire city and much of the plains of the Alagón River.

The Sacred Tablecloth of the Last Supper is located in Coria Cathedral. This unique historical treasure , housed in the cathedral museum, commemorates the liturgy of the miraculous night of Holy Thursday, when Christ concelebrated Passover with his twelve apostles before his Passion, following Jewish tradition.

Coria is also a place of celebration and gastronomy. Olive oil and honey are typical ingredients of the area. For this reason, the city celebrates the Olive Oil and Honey Gastronomic Festival from May 10th to 18th. What's more, it is also the 2025 Extremadura Gastronomic City.

Extremadura's liquid gold will be represented by Gata-Hurdes, Monterrubio, and Villuercas-Ibores-Jara, all three with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). As for the honey, no one will be left indifferent by the honey from Villuercas-Ibores, which is also a PDO.

Eight establishments from the city are participating in the event, offering different options: the "Weekend Menu" (May 10 and 11), the "A la Carte" (May 12-18), and the "Gastro-Tasting Experience" (May 16 and 17). Traditional dishes are enhanced with extra virgin olive oil and honey that delve into the roots of the earth and intensify flavors, textures, and aromas.

The Fair also coincides with the celebration of the Patron Saint Festivities of the Virgin of Argeme . After descending from her sanctuary on May 1st, located in the old Dehesa de Malpartida, she now resides in the Cathedral, presiding over the main altar during the celebrations. Countless events are held in honor of the Patron Saint of Coria and its Diocese, culminating in the so-called Salve de las Luces, the fireworks display that culminates in the festivities in the Cathedral Square on Saturday, May 10th.

The following day, Sunday the 11th, Mass will be celebrated, and then the Virgin will be carried by the members of the brotherhood, passing beneath various triumphal arches in the city, decorated with flowers. The following day, the Virgin of Argeme will be raised to her sanctuary.
