Coria del Río is a small town near Seville, on the shores of the Guadalquivir river.

Early in the 17th century, daimyō Date Masamune of Sendai sent a delegation led by Hasekura Tsunenaga (1571–1622) to Europe.

[2] In 1613, Hasekura and the delegates visited the Spanish court of King Philip III and the Vatican.

Some babies born within the town are known to display the mongolian spot which is common in Asians.

[3] A statue of Hasekura Tsunenaga was donated to the city by Japan in 1992 and stands watch over the river.
