Coria del Río’s cuisine is a celebration of traditional Andalusian flavors, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. The city is known for its seafood dishes, particularly river fish like the Corvinata and angulas (baby eels), which are often served grilled or fried with olive oil. Tapas culture is alive and well in Coria del Río, with many local bars offering a variety of small dishes such as jamón ibérico (Iberian ham), gazpacho (a cold tomato-based soup), and salmorejo, a thicker, richer version of gazpacho.
One of the culinary highlights of the city is its paella, often made with seafood or meat, and seasoned with saffron and local spices. Visitors can enjoy these traditional dishes at one of the many riverside restaurants, where they can dine with a view of the Guadalquivir.
The city is also known for its sweets, especially those made with almonds and honey, reflecting its Moorish influence. Local wines, including sherries from nearby Jerez, complement the meals perfectly. For a more casual experience, the local food markets offer fresh produce, meats, and cheeses, allowing visitors to experience the flavors of Coria del Río firsthand.
