Chaparro de la Vega Natural Monument

By Jo Williams

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.

It is located a few kilometres south of Coripe village, on the road leading south from Morón de la Frontera on the Cadiz-Seville provincial border.
