The Chaparro de la Vega is a magnificent 13m-high holm oak, measuring 30m in diameter in its entirety and having an estimated age of 700 years. The tree provides shade during the pilgrimage of Coripe villagers for the fiesta of Coripe's patron saint, the Virgen de Fátima.

Coripe is ideal for lovers of nature and rural tourism due to the wealth of flower and fauna and also an ideal terrain to undertake activities such as hiking, horse riding or mountain biking. It has about 1300 inhabitants.

The origin of Coripe goes back to the primitive Irippo founded by the Turdetani between the fourth and sixth centuries AC. Some coins of that time still exist in the Archaeological Museum of Seville. The Romans later changed the name to Coripo.
